New Zealand vs India 2019: India's Predicted Playing XI for 1st ODI 

#10 Mohammed Shami

Shami looked sharp against Australia

One of the biggest plus points from the series against Australia was Mohd Shami's form. The 28-year-old has been in and out of the Indian ODI team, but due to the unavailability of Bumrah he got a chance to play all the three matches and Shami grabbed the opportunity with both hands. He looked sharp with the ball taking 5 wickets in the series. A good performance against New Zealand might help Shami confirm a place in India's World Cup squad.

#11 Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal took 6 for 42 in the series decider

After being dropped from the side in the first two matches, Yuzvendra Chahal made a grand comeback in final ODI. Chahal troubled the Australian batsmen with his spin and took 6 wickets for 42 runs. The leg-spinner was the difference between the two sides and was named the man-of-the-match. Chahal will be a handful for the Kiwi batsmen.
