India will take on New Zealand in the first ODI match at Seddon Park in Hamilton tomorrow.
After a brilliant 5-0 win in the T20I series, Team India will look to carry their form into ODI series but before the start of it they suffered a big blow as opener Rohit Sharma has been ruled of rest of the tour due to injury and now India will have two debutant openers Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw and it'll be a huge challenge for them as well as for Virat Kohli to lead the batting line up in Rohit's absence. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are in good form and they need to do well in the middle order. In the bowling Bumrah, Shami, Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav will be the key players.
On the other hand, New Zealand also suffered a blow as Kane Williamson is out for the first two ODIs due to injury and in his absence, Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill and Tom Latham have to step up and in the bowling, they have a new attack of Hamish Bennett, Kyle Jamieson, and Tim Southee along with Ish Sodhi and Jimmy Neesham.
