India vs New Zealand 2022 ODI series: The third T20 played in Napier was declared a tie by the Duckworth-Lewis method and with this, Team India won the series 1-0 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The first T20 could not be held due to rain, while Team India registered a resounding victory in the T20. Now the ODI series will start, in which the captaincy of Team India is with Shikhar Dhawan. The first match of the three ODI series will be played in Auckland on Friday, 25 November. According to Indian time, the match will start at 7 am.
Big chance for these young players
Shikhar Dhawan has led India to back to back ODI series wins in West Indies and Zimbabwe. Looking at the 50-over ODI World Cup to be held in India next year, Team India would like to continue the winning streak here as well. Young opener Shubman Gill, who was adjudged Player of the Series in the last two series in Zimbabwe and West Indies, is also expected to feature in the playing XI for the ODIs.
Rishabh Pant is also seen set in the team now. He scored his first ODI century against England earlier this year. The series will also be a test for Shreyas Iyer, who has struggled with the short ball in the T20I series against New Zealand. Let me tell you, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik and R.K. Many senior players including Ashwin are not playing. That’s why the youth have a big opportunity.
On the other hand, New Zealand will be strengthened by the return of captain Kane Williamson to the host team. Due to injury, he could not play in the last T20 match. Players like Tom Latham and Michael Bracewell will also be available for the three-match ODI series.
