IND vs NZ 1st ODI: It is time for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to return once again as India lock horns with the Kiwis in the first One Day International of the series. Not just Rohit and Virat, but the match will also see the return of India's ODI skipper Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer. Both Iyer and Gill were nursing their respective injuries and had missed the ODI series against South Africa.
India have had an upper hand over the Kiwis for quite some time now and have a seven-match winning streak against them. Since 2017, the hosts of the upcoming series have won seven successive matches against the visitors at home venues. Can India continue their domination? Only time has an answer to that.
