Shubman Gill on the loss
18/01/2026 21:54
"After the first game, coming here 1-1, the way we played was disappointing. A lot of areas need improvement. Virat bhai's batting, Harshit's batting have been pluses. Fast bowlers have done well. Keeping WC in mind and where it will be, we want to give Nitish opportunities."

I'm just trying to concentrate on being present, watch the ball and repeat, and make some good decisions. GP is a mate, awesome to see him get a 100. He's been out injured, proud of how he's come back. I love playing for my country, took a while to get here, domestic cricket taught a lot."
IND vs NZ LIVE: A crushing blow
18/01/2026 21:43
The loss will only put Gautam Gambhir on the backfoot. So far, the ICC Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup victories have kept him on the job. But with two home Test series losses against New Zealand and South Africa, followed by a home ODI series loss against New Zealand, he has made it difficult. The T20 World Cup next month could be his saving grace. If he falters, BCCI would be looking for a new coach with the ODI World Cup still 18 months away.

18/01/2026 14:53
Nitish Kumar Reddy has been brought into the attack. The team management has faced criticism for not utilising his bowling skills fully. It remains to be seen how many overs he bowls today. India haven't opted for a spinner yet on this surface.

IND vs NZ 3rd ODI Live: Captains speak 🗣️
18/01/2026 13:11
Despite not expecting much dew, Shubman Gill trusts the surface to remain true and get better as the game progresses. During the toss, he said:
"We will bowl first. That's what we spoke (on the decision to bolw), batting first, New Zealand put us under pressure. One of the decisions we're bowling first is that the surface looks good, don't expect a lot of dew, runs on the board would let us chase better. Need to vary our lengths in the middle-overs, that's what we want to do. One change, Arshdeep comes in place of Prasidh."
Meanwhile, Michael Bracewell trusts his winning combination and knows that the batting group would need to play a bit aggressively today.
"We would have bowled first, but I think it looks like a good surface and I guess we're going to quickly shift to the mindset of batting first. That's right, it's a big exciting opportunity for us to win a series over here in one-day format. I think they've shown good temperament. They're getting used to international cricket and have made a good fist of it so far (on the new faces). With the series on the line you want to be able to do that stuff under pressure. So I'm looking forward to seeing how they go again tonight. No changes from the last game."
IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: Team News
18/01/2026 13:07
Finally, a game for Arshdeep Singh, who comes back into the team for the third ODI in place of Prasidh Krishna. It was a predictable call after India lost the Rajkot ODI due to lacklustre bowling. Arshdeep will add his left-arm variety to the side and will hopefully do well against a potent NZ batting lineup.
India Playing XI: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.

IND vs NZ Live: Rohit Sharma special today?
18/01/2026 12:34
After ending 2025 on a superlative note, this year hasn't started that superbly for Rohit Sharma. He has looked dangerous but those big scores are yet to come out of his bat in this series. But when stakes are high, you know the 'Hitman' shows up.
At the Holkar Stadium, the former Indian captain has scored 205 runs across five innings at an incredible SR of 110.22 and an average of 41. With Rohit in perhaps one of the best shapes of his career, he'd like to score some important runs under his belt.
