India is set to face New Zealand in the first of a three-match ODI series in Vadodara. Key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are returning, with this series being their last ODI matches until July, preceding the T20 World Cup and IPL. Shubman Gill captains the ODI side for the first time since his T20 World Cup exclusion. Both Kohli and Sharma participated in net sessions, while Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Siraj were absent due to domestic matches.
