न्यूज़ीलैंड वि इंडिया
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rejoin India for a five-match ODI series that opens at Eden Park on Wednesday 4 November, with a 7:30 AM IST start (3:00 PM local). New Zealand have lost two batters before a ball is bowled: Rachin Ravindra (shoulder) and Mark Chapman (hamstring) miss the whole series. Shubman Gill leads India for the first three games and Shreyas Iyer for the last two, while Mitchell Santner captains New Zealand. The open question is Matt Henry, who joined the squad on Monday with a quad tear and will be reassessed before the game.

Eden Park, Auckland has no completed matches on record for IND in NZ 2026/27 yet, so there is no reliable par score to quote. Treat the pitch report at the toss as your main signal and keep a balanced XI.
Ravindra has not recovered well enough from a dislocated shoulder to field in white-ball cricket, and the side does not want to risk him before the Tests. Henry Nicholls comes in for the first three ODIs, Tim Seifert stays for all five after his 93 won the last T20I in Hamilton, and Matthew Fisher is extra seam cover for Henry. Tom Latham keeps wicket in the first three games.
Prasidh Krishna was ruled out with a hamstring injury and Auqib Nabi replaces him. Nitish Kumar Reddy is available for this match only, as he then joins India A for match practice before the Tests. India took the T20I series 3-2 but lost the last two games.
