  • Shubman Gill resumes his role as captain after recovering from a short injury break. He is supported by vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who also returns to the side following a stint at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Notably, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya have been rested as part of the board's ongoing workload management programme. This series is particularly significant as it may be the last time Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli appear in ODI colours until later in the year.

    The visitors, led by all-rounder Michael Bracewell, arrive with a squad featuring several fresh faces alongside experienced campaigners like Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell. The Black Caps are currently without several of their primary bowling options, placing additional pressure on the likes of Kyle Jamieson and Ish Sodhi to contain a formidable Indian top order in domestic conditions.
