Both teams will be competing in their second ODI series of 2023.

India whitewashed Sri Lanka 3-0 while New Zealand defeated Pakistan 2-1.

KL Rahul and Axar Patel will miss the series against the Black Caps due to 'family commitments'.

[{ "selector": ".wccda-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Ishan Kishan is likely to replace Rahul in the playing XI.

The left-handed batter will bat in the middle order, probably at No.5.

[{ "selector": ".qbcrt-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

KS Bharat is also in the squad as a wicketkeeper-batter option but Kishan is likely to get the nod.

Washington Sundar or Shahbaz Ahmed will replace Axar Patel in the playing XI.
