The three-match One Day International series between India and New Zealand begins on Wednesday, January 18. KL Rahul has been rested for this series, who is out of the team due to his family reasons. He was playing as a wicket-keeper batsman at number 5 in India’s ODI team, as Rishabh Pant was already out of the team and he has been out of the team for a long time after the accident.

In the event of KL Rahul not being available, one thing is certain that there is every possibility of Ishaan Kishan getting a chance in the playing XI. However, the biggest question is that Ishaan Kishan will play as a wicketkeeper, but at what number will he bat, it is a matter to think about. At present, Shubman Gill is opening the innings with Rohit Sharma and he is doing well as an opener.

Although, apart from Ishan Kishan, KS Bharat is also a part of India’s ODI team, but the management will give chance to Ishan Kishan, who scored a double century in his last ODI match. It is believed that Ishaan Kishan can be seen playing in ODI cricket for the first time at number 5, as the place of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer is confirmed after the opener. In such a situation only the number 5 slot is vacant.

All-rounder Akshar Patel is also not a part of the team. In such a situation, will Suryakumar Yadav be seen playing or will Washington Sundar get a chance, it will also have to be seen. Shahbaz Ahmed has been selected in the ODI team, but for the time being, India’s eyes will be on making the team for the World Cup. In such a situation, Washington Sundar is the like-to-like replacement of Akshar Patel. Ahmed can also be considered.
