Shreyas Iyer to Captain India in Fourth ODI as Team Seeks Series Win Over New ZealandPreviousNext

India leads 2-0 in the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, with the fourth match at Bay Oval on November 13. Shreyas Iyer will captain India for the first time in ODIs, replacing Shubman Gill, who along with KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj, has left to prepare for the upcoming Test series. Ishan Kishan is expected to open alongside Rohit Sharma and take over wicketkeeping duties. India is set to make at least three changes, with players like Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad competing for middle-order spots as India aims to seal the series victory.
