Team India will be facing off against New Zealand for the 1st ODI clash in Vadodra. The highlight of the match is set to be the return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in action.
The wait for cricket fans is about to end as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will once again be in the thick of things as we approach the India vs New Zealand 1st ODI clash. Apart from seeing the stalwarts in action, the series will also mark the first occasion when captain Shubman Gill will be taking the field after being snubbed for the T20I World Cup squad.
Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who is back in his role as vice-captain, was included in the Indian squad subject to fitness. The veteran batter now seems to be back in full strength as he captained Mumbai recently during a Vijay Hazare contest and even batted during the net sessions.
Rishabh Pant is said to have suffered an injury scare during the net sessions in Vadodara but later walked off the field, suggesting that the injury may not be too grave.
As for the Kiwis, Michael Bracewell will lead the side with regular skipper Mitchell Santner recovering from a groin injury. Notably, this will be the last ODI clash for both the sides as attention quickly shifts to the upcoming T20 World Cup which will be held next month in India and Sri Lanka.
