India made a winning start defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the lung-opener in Vadodara, but the hosts lost Washington Sundar for the remainder of the series due to a side strain. The selectors have roped in Delhi’s Ayush Badoni but in all likelihood, India would bring in another all-rounder in Nitish Kumar Reddy into the eleven given head coach Gautam Gambhir’s preference for multi-skilled players.

Key Highlights

  • On the eve of the first ODI, Rishabh Pant had copped a blow while batting against Indian throw-down staff and was ruled out of the series.
  • His ouster had prompted the selectors to draft in Dhruv Jurel who can be another option for a specialist batter if the team management decides to go that way.
  • Despite the available options, India’s white-ball set up would not want to see more injuries with the T20 World Cup less than a month away.
  • That squad would feature an entirely different batting line-up from the one in the ODIs.
  • But some names are common to both sides and an important one, all-rounder Tilak Varma, is out of at least the first three T20Is against the Kiwis due to a groin injury.
