The Indian team, having defeated Sri Lanka rather easily, will be up for a new challenge against New Zealand. The series against the Kiwis begin with three ODIs and which will be followed up by three T20Is. 

The New Zealand side is coming here on the back of an ODI series win against Pakistan and will be treating the matches in the sub-continent as practice for the upcoming ODI World Cup. Thus it becomes necessary to look at the playing combinations of both teams before the first ODI at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. 

Playing 11 combinations of India

With the marriage season on, India will be without the services of KL Rahul and Axar Patel, both of whom are getting married. Shreyas Iyer is out of the three-match ODI series with a back injury and hence Rajat Patidar has been given an India call-up. Hence, it makes very easy calls on the part of the Indian management to pick the eleven players. 

India predicted playing 11

Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik/Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal/Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj

Playing 11 combinations of New Zealand

The New Zealand side would be without their top performers Tim Southee and Kane Williamson and hence the leadership role will shift to Tom Latham. Southee will be most probably replaced by Blair Tickner in the playing 11 while Henry Nicholls will replace Williamson. The rest of the team will be the same as the one which played against Pakistan last week. 

New Zealand predicted playing 11

Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (C, wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner/Dough Bracewell, Lockie Ferguson
