IND vs NZ 4th ODI: India are expected to make several changes to their playing XI when they face New Zealand in the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui on Friday. The visitors will be without Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj, who have left the squad to join India’s Test team.

Their departures are likely to open the door for Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad to feature in the playing XI. Mohammed Siraj could also return to the side to strengthen India’s pace attack following Kamboj’s departure.

With Gill unavailable, Shreyas Iyer will lead India in the upcoming match. Ishan Kishan is almost certain to partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order, while Gaikwad could be considered for a middle-order role.

However, Iyer has another option in Tilak Varma, who is also available for selection. The Indian captain will have to decide which batter offers the best balance to the team as India look to continue their strong run in the series.

With Blair Tickner still unavailable, the hosts are expected to stick with a similar combination to the one they fielded in the third match. Henry’s return, if confirmed, would provide an important boost to New Zealand’s bowling attack.

New Zealand: Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (wk), Will Young, Nick Kelly, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Dean Foxcroft, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher.
