The Indian Senior Selection Committee on Monday decided to go ahead and retain the current squad for the remainder of the couple of One-Day International (ODI) matches to be played vs New Zealand. The 14-member squad has be retained for the remaining couple of ODIs. However, Suresh Raina, who missed the previous three ODIs due to a viral fever, has been ruled out of the series, as he is yet to recover and gain complete fitness for the series. Also, no replacement has been announced for him that cuts the squad down from 15 to 14, but with no change in the remaining side. The remainder of the matches are to be played on October 26 at Ranchi (4th ODI), followed by October 29 at Vishkhapatnam (5th ODI). India currently lead the five-match series 2-1.

Win the toss, bowl first, come out second and finish it off. That has been Indian cricket’s mantra in limited-overs. Why wouldn’t you adopt this ploy when you have two of the greatest batsmen in run-chases donning the captain and vice-captain’s role for you? MS Dhoni and his deputy Virat Kohli knit a stand of 151 for the third wicket in 27.1 overs as India completed the chase of 286, winning the third One-Day International of the series against New Zealand by seven wickets with 10 balls to spare. Kohli brought up his 26th hundred and 16th in run-chases in another contest that headed towards a nail-biter way. With a win at Mohali, India now lead the five-match ODI series 2-1. Kohli remained unbeaten on 154 from 134 balls, a knock that consisted 16 fours and one six.

 

 

Squad: MS Dhoni (c), Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Jayant Yadav, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Dhawal Kulkarni, Umesh Yadav, Mandeep Singh, Kedar Jadhav.
