Shubman Gill to Miss Final Two ODIs Against New Zealand; Shreyas Iyer to Lead India

India will be without regular captain Shubman Gill for the fourth and fifth ODIs against New Zealand. The matches are scheduled to be played at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on November 13 and 15. Gill, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul and fast bowler Anshul Kamboj have left the ODI squad to join preparations for the upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand in Wellington.

Shreyas Iyer will take charge of the Indian team for the remaining two matches. Ishan Kishan has been named vice-captain and is expected to open the innings in the fourth ODI after sitting out the first three games. The selectors have also brought in Tilak Varma, wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra and fast bowler Yash Thakur as replacements for Gill, Rahul and Kamboj. Their absence is expected to result in at least three changes to India's playing XI.
