IND VS NZ, 1st ODI Highlights: Siraj, Gill shine as India beat New Zealand by 12 runs in Hyderabad
IND Vs NZ, 1st ODI Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Rohit Sharma’s team will look to continue their winning run in the format against the Kiwis.
Team India will kick off a brand-new three-match ODI series against 2019 50-over World Cup runners-up New Zealand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday (January 18).
India will be aiming to secure their 23rd consecutive bilateral ODI series victory at home since 2010. Led by Rohit Sharma, who recently led the team to a 3-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka, the Indian side will be looking to continue their winning streak against the Black Caps, who will be captained by Tom Latham in the absence of regular skipper Kane Williamson.
The New Zealanders are entering this series on the heels of a 2-1 series victory over Babar Azam's Pakistan side last week. Team India will need to make some adjustments, as KL Rahul and Axar Patel are set to miss the ODI series due to their upcoming nuptials. India will have to find a way to fill the void left by these two key players if they are to have any chance of success.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and former Shubman Gill are expected to open the batting with Virat Kohli, who scored two centuries in the last series, occupying the No. 3 position. It will be intriguing to see if all-rounder Washington Sundar will make a return to the side to replace Axar Patel as the all-rounder.
In the pace bowling department, Mohammed Siraj should spearhead the attack, with Mohammed Shami and Umran Malik providing support, in addition to all-rounder Hardik Pandya. With Siraj's impressive record in the IPL, Shami's experience, Malik's raw talent, and Pandya's all-round ability, this bowling unit is sure to be a formidable force.

IND vs NZ 1st ODI Live Score:
What a thrilling start to the series! India would have anticipated New Zealand to come out with all guns blazing, even without Williamson and Southee, and the hosts were not disappointed - they were nearly stunned. It was a magnificent game of cricket all-round, with Gill's double ton setting up the day, and then the near-heist from Bracewell, only to be denied at the last step.
That's all for today. Thank you for joining us!!
IND vs NZ 1st ODI Live Score:
Shubman Gill | Player of the Match: I was waiting eagerly to go out and do what I want to do. With wickets falling, at times I wanted to unleash and I'm glad I could do it at the end. Sometimes when the bowler is on top, you need to make them feel pressure. Need to avoid dot balls, show some intent and hit hard into the gaps. Which is what I was doing. Wasn't really thinking of 200, but once when I hit sixes in the 47th over, I did feel that I could. Before that, I was playing what was coming to me. He (Kishan) is one of my best mates. I was there when he scored his ODI double hundred and it was special. It feels nice when you are wanting to do something and it is coming off on a regular basis. Definitely a sense of satisfaction. It (double ton) has sunk in pretty well. Game went much more closer than I expected.
IND vs NZ 1st ODI Live Score:
Tom Latham | New Zealand captain: It was an amazing innings (from Bracewell). From 131/6, to come and play an innings like that, for him to put our team in a situation to win the game, it's outstanding. Obviously disappointing we couldn't get across the line but it was special. When you're chasing and coming at a pressure situation, to give us a chance to win that game was special. I think it probably gripped a bit more under lights, India used a lot more cutters into the wicket and it worked. Bracewell batted well and his partnership with Santner was very good to see.
Rohit Sharma | India captain: To be honest, the way he was batting and the way it came on to the bat nicely, it was clean ball-striking. We knew that if we bowled well, we would be okay unless we really slipped up with the ball. Unfortunately, that's what happened. I did say at the toss that I'd like to see us challenge ourselves, not quite the situation I expected but that's how it is. He (Gill) is going really well. The form he was in, we wanted to make use of it and that's why we backed him in the SL series. Free-flowing batter and it's quite exciting to watch. Siraj has been brilliant, not just in this game but in the red-ball, T20 format and now ODIs. Really good to see what he does with the ball. Executing what he wants to do and he is very clear about his plans. Which is how it should be.
