Hello And Welcome to CricTalks!

PREVIEW: On Sunday, January 11, the much-awaited three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will kickstart at the Vadodara International Stadium in Gujarat. The Kiwis will return to India for an ODI series for the first time in three years, and a lot has changed since their last visit in 2023.

Michael Bracewell will lead the side but New Zealand cricket has decided to play the second-string squad in the ODIs as Kane Williamson misses out. Experienced campaigners in Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway, Will Young and Kyle Jamieson will also be available at Bracewell's disposal.

India are fresh off a series win against South Africa. The Men in Blue have recieved a huge boost as their regular skipper Shubman Gill has returned to the side recovering from his issues. However, the Men in Blue are without Ruturaj Gaikwad, who misses out on a spot because of Gill's return.

New Zealand, on the other hand, were dealing with a few issues, but have players fit for the India series and will field a strong playing 11 for the first ODI. For India all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as they return for another ODI Series after having scored runs against Australia and South Africa.

The highest team total in India vs New Zealand ODIs is 397 runs at the loss of 4 wickets, set by India in the 2023 World Cup.

India's current ODI captain, Shubman Gill, holds the record for the highest individual score against New Zealand in ODIs. The star batter has made 208 runs off 149 balls at a strike rate of 139.60 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in 2023.

India and New Zealand have faced each other 120 times in ODIs so far, and India has clearly enjoyed the upper hand. The 'Men in Blue' have 62 wins, and on the other hand, New Zealand have 50 wins, with one match tied and seven matches ended in no result.
