IND vs NZ: A three-match ODI series is to be played between India and New Zealand. The team for this series can be announced today. This time the focus of the selectors will be on striking a balance between the return of experienced players and giving opportunities to the youth. Captain Shubman Gill can make a comeback in this series.
Shubman Gill, who was out of the last ODI series against South Africa due to neck injury, is now completely fit. He will take over the captaincy of Team India in this series. This is the first time for Gill when Shubman Gill will take over the captaincy on home ground.
Rohit and Virat’s magic
The biggest news for the fans is that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are making a comeback in the ODI team. Both these legends were recently seen playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where both of them proved their match fitness and form by scoring brilliant centuries.
These players can get rest
Keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, BCCI is emphasizing on workload management. In such a situation, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya can be rested from this ODI series. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer is still not completely fit and is undergoing rehab, so it is almost certain that he will be out.
India’s probable team against New Zealand
Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer (depending on fitness)/Tilak Verma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.
