NDTV
India vs New Zealand: India trail 1-0 against New Zealand after losing the first ODI by 7 wickets in Auckland. Will they look to bring some change in the bowling line-up?
India lost the first ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand by 7 wickets at Eden Park, Auckland. The second ODI, a must-win for the Shikhar Dhawan-led side, takes place at the Seddon Park, Hamilton on Sunday. Fifties from Shreyas Iyer, Dhawan and Shubman Gill helped India post 306 for 7 in 50 overs in the first ODI. Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee claimed three wickets each for New Zealand. The Blackcaps successfully chased down the target in 47.1 overs, thanks to Tom Latham's 145 not out and Kane Williamson's unbeaten 94.
Ahead of the second ODI, will India look to bring any change in the playing XI? Will benched player Deepak Chahar be given a chance? Here is what we think could be India's XI vs New Zealand in the second ODI -
Shikhar Dhawan (c): The southpaw played a 72-run knock off 77 balls in the first ODI. Dhawan started his innings on a cautious note before picking some pace later on.
Shubman Gill: The right-handed batter was well in his groove while batting in the first game. He scored a fifty but failed to capitalise on it.
Shreyas Iyer: The right-handed batter played a beautiful knock of 80 runs off 76 balls. His innings played a huge role in taking India to a total of over 300. He was the side's top scorer in the game.
