Ahead of their ODI series against New Zealand, Indian cricketers engaged in net practice where Rohit Sharma offered batting tips to Mohammed Siraj. Rishabh Pant briefly required medical attention after sustaining a blow above the waist during his batting session. Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja also participated in the optional training. The series begins Sunday in Vadodara, with subsequent matches in Rajkot and Indore.
