Gaikwad, Kishan included in India ODI squad vs New Zealand; Gill, Rahul sit out final two games

India has announced its ODI squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand. Captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper KL Rahul will feature in the first three one-day internationals. Shreyas Iyer has been named skipper for the remaining two matches of the series.

Batsmen Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan have been included in the squad for the New Zealand ODIs. The team management has opted to rest key players for the final two games, with Iyer taking over captaincy duties for those encounters.

The rotation strategy reflects the Board's plan to manage player workload across the international calendar while providing opportunities to other squad members.
