New Zealand vs India 2019: India's Predicted Playing XI for the third ODI

Pacers - Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami

Bhuvneshwar got rid of Guptill in the second game

Ever since his comeback from injury, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in phenomenal touch with the white ball, showing what exactly the Indian team missed with his absence. The tall pacer looked good in the second ODI too, keeping pressure on the New Zealand openers, which ultimately led to the wicket of Martin Guptill, who was caught in the deep by Chahal off Bhuvi's bowling.

Mohammed Shami has emerged as a match-winner for India with the white ball right in time for the World Cup. The pacer has left injuries and personal issues behind, and looks set to don the Indian colours regularly in 50-overs cricket. He was named Man of the Match in the first ODI for his brilliant spell, and although he did not take as many wickets in the second game, his dismissal of Kane Williamson was crucial as it put brakes on the Kiwi chase.
