In the first ODI match against New Zealand, Team India skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium in Kotambi.

Team India's second-choice wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the entire three-match ODI series, as he has sustained a side strain (oblique muscle tear). Dhruv Jurel has been named as his replacement for the series. The fans will be excited to witness the elegant strokes from the bigwigs of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
