India Vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Rohit Sharma and co eye win in the third and final ODI in Indore to sweep series.
Rohit Sharma's Team India will aim to finish the three-match ODI series against New Zealand on a high note when they face the Black Caps in the third game at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Tuesday (January 24). India have already secured the series with an unbeatable 2-0 lead after their impressive eight-wicket victory in the second ODI in Raipur on Saturday. If successful, India will become the first team to achieve a clean sweep against a No. 1-ranked side.
The home side will look to complete back-to-back ODI series whitewashes after defeating Sri Lanka with a 3-0 margin earlier this month. A win on Tuesday would mean that India would ascend to the top of the ICC men's ODI rankings, dethroning the reigning ODI World Champions, England.
It will be fascinating to watch if skipper Rohit decides to make any changes to the playing XI. Former captain Virat Kohli will be aiming for a personal milestone, as a 13th ODI half-century against the Kiwis will take him over the iconic Sachin Tendulkar's record of most ODI fifties versus New Zealand.
The Indian bowling attack has been impressive, led by Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, with Kuldeep Yadav proving difficult to read for the Black Caps. India will be eager to continue their winning streak in this format, especially as they are hosting the 50-over World Cup later this year. With the tournament looming, the Indian team will be looking to build momentum and gain confidence in the lead up to the event.
That brings us to the conclusion of our coverage of the three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand, with the Men in Blue continuing their impressive streak of dominance at home with yet another series sweep. Now, the focus shifts to the T20Is, beginning with the first game in Ranchi on Friday.
That's all for today. Thank you for joining us.

Shardul Thakur | PoTM: I am liked by my teammates (chuckles). When the opponents come after you it's important to stay in the moment. I don't think too much. You got to be ready for different situations. Everyone enjoys batting. In modern day world it's all about batting.
Hardik Pandya: I have always enjoyed bowling with the new ball, it was a very good day for me. I swung the ball both ways. I have always enjoyed bowling with the new ball. Since I have comeback, I have changed my alignment and it has worked for me. This series has been where I have been able to express myself. I came fully prepared and it has gone well. (On Shardul) Lucky that Shardul had faith in me, because of his faith in me, we combined and I am grateful to him that he listened to me. If they leave some grass on the pitch next time, it will be good for the bowlers. I still think you would be able to see 350-360 runs on this pitch.

The pristine surface at the Holkar Stadium promises to be an ideal batting track, offering batters a gala time as they settle into the 22 yards. The third ODI could be a high-scoring affair, with bowlers likely to find little purchase on this wicket. As such, the captain winning the toss may opt to bowl first.
