Shreyas Iyer to captain India in fourth ODI against New Zealand on November 13, India lead 2-0
India lead the series 2-0 after the Hamilton washout, and Shreyas Iyer will lead the side in the last two ODIs, starting at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.
Three matches have been played so far in the ODI series between India and New Zealand. India won two of them and lead the series 2-0. The third match was to be held in Hamilton but could not begin because of bad weather. Continuous rain meant even the toss could not take place, and the match was eventually abandoned.
Two matches of the series remain. India need to win only one of them to take the series. If New Zealand win both, the series will be level at 2-2. All eyes are therefore on the fourth ODI.
India's captain and squad are both changing for the last two ODIs. With the Test series in mind, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have been rested after the first three matches. Shreyas Iyer will therefore lead the side in the remaining two matches. As captain, he faces the challenge of winning the series for the team.
Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has also been included in the squad. He can strengthen the middle order with his aggressive batting. With a new captain and a new team, India will try to restart their winning run in the fourth ODI.
The fourth match will be played on Friday, November 13. The two teams will meet at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. By Indian time, the match will start at 7.30 am, with the toss at 7 am.
The match will be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network TV channels. For those who prefer to watch on a mobile phone rather than on television, live streaming will be available on the SonyLIV app.
India's squad for the fourth and fifth ODIs is: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper and vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Aqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav.
