Prithvi Shaw and other youngsters get a chance to make an impression in the Indian line-up as the Injuries of key players has opened the door for exciting youngsters against New Zealand in the three-match ODI series starting on Wednesday.
New Zealand had knocked
India out with an 18-run win over two days in the second semi-final at
Manchester last time in world cup these two sides met in the 50-over format,
The Men in Blue are already missing Shikhar Dhawan, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Deepak Chahar. But still opener Rohit Sharma ruled out in the field a major blow of cricket
Kane Williamson the inspirational skipper of New Zealand has joined the long list of injured along with the likes of Trent Boult.

Indian skipper Virat
Kohli planed that they will stick to the strategy adopted before against
Australia, Kohli had more or less confirmed Shaw’s ODI debut in that scenario. In
2016 KL Rahul and Karun Nair opened for India on their debuts in Zimbabwe.
Shreyas Iyer plays a major role at number four with Indian skipper Kohli at number three, Manish Pandey batted along with Kohli and Iyer, ahead of Shivam Dube, Rishabh Pant and Kedar Jadhav.

be a curious mix with Dube, Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja vying for the all-rounder’s
spot, if Pandy comeback. Mohammed Shami, Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah, three
pacers will probably be the norm once again.

Like India, the NewZealand team is without a key top-order player, their captain himself. But they do welcome back a few stars from their World Cup campaign and a bunch of inexperienced fast bowlers. Henry Nicholls and Tom Latham, who’ll captain the side after having led them in the last Test at Sydney, are back to bolster the batting while Mark Chapman is likely to get a look in as an attacking middle-to-late order option. The return of Jimmy Neesham does considerably strengthen the Kiwis’ bowling resources, and it’ll come down to whether they need an extra spinner or a batsman.
The man who spent maximum time fussing over his technique on Tuesday was Colin de Grandhomme, whose responsibility should be expected to burgeon in the absence of Williamson.
New Zealand Probable XI Players: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (c) (wk), Mark Chapman, Jimmy Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Scott Kuggeleijn, Hamish Bennett
India Probable XI Players: Mayank Agarwal Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Manish Pandey/Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
