Can New Zealand challenge India's strong home record? (ESPNcricinfo.com)

India (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Ishan Kishan (wk), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Kuldeep ...

[Shreyas Iyer](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shreyas-iyer-642519)has been ruled out of the series with a back injury, and [Rajat Patidar](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/rajat-patidar-823703)has taken his place in the squad.

[Shubman Gill](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shubman-gill-1070173), who currently has 894 runs from 18 innings, has a chance to claim the record during this series.

Either way, win or lose, New Zealand will want to take away as many insights as they can before they return for the World Cup. They could now be in for a stiffer challenge, though. Since the start of 2010, they've played 25 bilateral home series, and

New Zealanders will miss Kane Williamson in batting and Tim Southee in bowling who are resting at home as part of workload management for the World Cup ...

Clearly, top-order batters Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Darryl Mitchell, and captain Tom Latham (who played down the order in Pakistan), Michael Bracewell have a task cut out with the bat for sure. In bowling, pacer Mohammed Siraj is having a dream run with the ball and will be playing his first international at home. It will be interesting to see whether Suryakumar Yadav finds a place in the eleven or not.

IND vs NZ: India look to finetune balance; New Zealand strive ... (The Indian Express)

Kiwis would seek exposure to subcontinental conditions, while India have holes to plug.

This is precisely the reason that India decided to split Chahal and Kuldeep so that one of their finger spinners – [Ravindra Jadeja](https://indianexpress.com/about/ravindra-jadeja/), [Axar Patel](https://indianexpress.com/about/axar-patel/), [Washington Sundar](https://indianexpress.com/about/washington-sundar/) – can be included to lend depth in the batting. On a given day, all the eleven players who take the field have to be in good form and without compromising on the strength of the XI members that are there. But those are the things that are not in your control,” Rohit added. You want to see good cricket being played without one (team) having the advantage of batting under lights with the dew. But having scored a double century in the last game he opened in Bangladesh, the left-hander will have to bat in the middle-order as India are not keen on separating Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. That is the reason, he says, they have included Shardul Thakur, as “his ability with the bat can give us the edge at No 8”. With Ross Taylor not in the picture, in Latham, the Kiwis have a reliable accumulator at No 5. But as if often the case, New Zealand is flying under the radar, and the attention is once again on India. [Bhuvneshwar Kumar](https://indianexpress.com/about/bhuvneshwar-kumar/) not in the picture and Deepak Chahar injured, none of their first-choice pacers are handy with the bat. As they arrived at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium for a practice session on Tuesday, there were more support staff than players. Just a month after playing them in New Zealand in three ODIs and as many T20Is, they will repeat it in the reverse fixture. At the helm is Tom Latham, a wonderfully gifted player but massively under-rated in the format.

Hosts India will take on New Zealand in the first ODI in Hyderabad today. India have whitewashed the Sri Lankans with a record 317-run win in the final ODI at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.

He will be travelling to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for additional evaluation and management, according to a statement from the organisation. "Ishan Kishan will be batting in the middle order. Kuldeep Yadav should continue to retain his place in the playing XI as well with a couple of impressive performances in his last two ODI games. Team India will need to ring in some changes with KL Rahul and Axar Patel set to miss the ODI series as both of them are expected to get married sometime soon. Team India will begin a fresh three-match ODI series against 2019 50-over World Cup runners-up New Zealand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday (January 18).

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI Live Score: India extended their dominant home record in the format by annihilating Sri Lanka in their previous match.

However, Gill's consistent performances in the Sri Lanka series, which includes his second ODI century, showed why the team has put their trust in him. New Zealand have decided to rest Kane Williamson and Tim Southee, their two seniormost players, for this series. He is on 46 centuries, needs three more to equal Sachin Tendulkar's record and there are three matches in this series. The spirit in the team is really good. While the rest of the inclusions are not surprising, Shardul Thakur's inclusion is. Catch live score and updates of IND vs NZ 1st ODI from Hyderabad here.

Having made his ODI debut last July, Phillips is one of their main engines in the middle order, where he has been given the licence to go full throttle. Although Phillips made his international debut in T20Is way back in 2017 and has played 56 matches, he is just becoming an integral part of the Black Caps side. Just a month after playing them in New Zealand in three ODIs and as many T20Is, they will repeat it in the reverse fixture.
