New Delhi: Shubman Gill-led India will take on Michael Bracewell's New Zealand in the three-match ODI series, starting from Sunday, January 11. The focus will again be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and whether the duo can carry their brilliant 2025 form into the new year as India begin their road to the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The two veteran batters delivered match-winning performances against the Proteas and even scored runs in the two Vijay Hazare Trophy matches they played. The series will also mark the return of vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who suffered an injury while taking a catch in the third and final ODI against Australia in Sydney.
Captain Shubman Gill is also back in the squad after missing the ODI series against South Africa due to neck injury. On the other hand, the Blackcaps have not sent a full-strength squad as the focus remains on the 2026 T20 World Cup. However, Bracewell will hope that his team can put up some fight against the hosts.
