1.Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma: India’s vice-captain and now the captain, Rohit Sharma has been in tremendous form in this series. He scored two back-to-back half-centuries (87 and 62) in the second and third ODI respectively.
Hope the captaincy helps the Hitman score a century.

2.Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan: Nicknamed 'Gabbar' by teammates, Shikhar Dhawan has shown some good form in the first two ODIs. However, the hard-hitting opening batsman went out cheaply in the third ODI. Dhawan didn’t have a great ODI series in Australia, but he has made amends in New Zealand so far.
The batsman will be eager to score some more runs in the upcoming ODI.

3.Shubman Gill
Shubhman Gill: Indian team debutant Shubman Gill has been the talk of the town. The Punjab batsman has scored 1089 runs in 9 first-class matches and 1529 runs in 36 List A matches before getting the India call-up.
The star of the U-19 World Cup in 2018 was even complimented by skipper Virat Kohli saying that he was not even 10% of what Gill is at the age of 19. We hope to see him in the team and a stellar performance from the young star.

4.Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu: Playing a crucial role in the second ODI and having a partnership with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu has made his place in the team. Batting at number four in this series, he hasn’t got enough time to show his potential.
There are hopes; he will make this series worth for the World Cup selection.

5.MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni: The wicketkeeper, who suffered a hamstring injury in the second ODI and missed the third, could possibly make a comeback. If declared fit, he could replace Dinesh Karthik. Dhoni was the star for India in the Australia series and scored some runs in the second ODI too. Dhoni has shown that he can still finish games with his cool and calm demeanour.

6.Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav: He played couple of good innings in Australia seriers and in the second ODI in New Zealand. In the second ODI, Jadhav made an impact with the 10 deliveries he faced with a score of 22 runs. He also shared an important partnership of 53 runs with MS Dhoni which helped the visitors to take their score over 320. Kedar Jadhav has not got the chance to much with the bat, but he has also been great with the ball.

7.Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya: Embroiled in controversies, Hardik Pandya made sure his comeback would leave a mark. From taking two wickets to the stunning catch to dismiss New Zealand’s best batsman Kane Williamson, Pandya did impress everyone.
As the balance creator in the lineup, we hope he continues to perform with the bat and ball (and not with his mouth).

8.Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: There is not much say, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been his usual efficient self in the series with his good bowling rhythm.
The fast bowler provided early breakthroughs in the last two ODIs. Mohammed Shami even said that Bhuvneshwar’s bowling has helped him bowl better at the other end.

9.Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav: Being a major part of the bowling unit, Kuldeep Yadav has taken consecutive four-wicket hauls in the first two matches.
He went wicket-less in the third ODI, but still bowled an economical spell of 4.87 in eight overs. He along with Yuzvendra Chahal – the duo being called KulCha – have restricted the opposition’s runs in the middle overs.

10.Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal: The quirky man who now runs the Chahal TV for BCCI has been bowling brilliantly since the third ODI against Australia. Yuzvendra Chahal chipped in with two wickets in each of the matches.
If India decides to go ahead with one spinner, he could take Kuldeep Yadav’s place in the World Cup.

11.Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj: Since the first Test against Australia in Adelaide, Mohammed Shami has been playing non-stop. The Indian team would want to give the bowler rest and play Mohammed Siraj instead.
Siraj has not done much in his ODI career yet but given a chance he could help the team as a good back up option.
