1st ODI: India Hope To Extend Winning Streak Against Inexperienced New Zealand (preview)
Kotambi International Stadium: All eyes will once again be on stalwarts and former captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma when India take on New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Kotambi International Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday. The venue is set to host its first-ever men’s ODI game, and the match will mark the return of men’s internationals at the venue.
The last men’s international game played here was also between India and New Zealand when the two sides squared off on December 4, 2010, and current head coach Gautam Gambhir stood out for the Men in Blue with a magnificent century.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have quit the T20 and Test formats, will take the field again after the recent series against South Africa -- taking on the BlackCaps, who have formed a rather inexperienced squad for the series but are ready to challenge.
