Before this match, changes have been made in the squad of Team India. Along with this, three major changes can be seen in India's playing 11 in this match. Regular ODI captains Shubhman Gill, KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj have been released for the Test series. In such a situation, a new opening pair can be seen from India in the fourth ODI match.
Shreyas Iyer will captain
In this match to be held at Bay Oval, Shreyas Iyer will captain in the absence of Shubman Gill. Iyer has been appointed captain of Team India for the last two matches against New Zealand. In the absence of Gill and KL Rahul, it is almost certain that Ishan Kishan and Rituraj Gaikwad will play in the playing 11. At the same time, Kuldeep Yadav or Mohammad Siraj may get a chance as the third change in the playing 11.

Rituraj Gaikwad will open with Rohit Sharma
After the release of Shubman Gill, the biggest question now is who will open for India along with Rohit Sharma? It is believed in many reports that Rituraj Gaikwad can be seen opening with Hitman in the fourth ODI match. At the same time, Ishan Kishan can bat at number five along with wicket-keeping.
Kuldeep-Siraj may get a chance
If Team India decides to field an additional spinner in the fourth ODI, then Kuldeep Yadav's place in the playing 11 is considered confirmed. On the other hand, if the team goes with four fast bowlers, then everyone's eyes will be on star pacer Mohammad Siraj. Siraj has not got a chance to play even a single match in this series so far. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the management gives him a chance in the fourth ODI or not.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Axar Patel, Naman Dheer, Aqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Kuldeep Yadav/Mohammed Siraj and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
