The ODI record of the Indian team at Holkar Stadium in Indore has been excellent, where no one has been able to defeat them till now. But some players from New Zealand can create trouble for Team India in the third ODI match. Know here which 4 players of the Kiwi team the Indian team will have to stay away from.

Daryl Mitchell, who scored unbeaten 131 runs in the second ODI against India. Mitchell is in excellent form at the moment, having earlier scored a century in the ODI match against West Indies. Preventing him from playing big innings can prove to be the biggest challenge for Team India. Indian bowlers will have to get him out quickly at any cost.

Michael Bracewell

Michael Bracewell is captaining the New Zealand team in this series. So far, he has been able to take only 2 wickets in 2 matches, but Indian batsmen have been struggling to score runs against his spinning balls. In the second ODI match, he gave only 34 runs in 10 overs.

kyle jameson

6 feet 8 inches tall, Kyle Jamieson naturally gets more bounce in his bowling. Also, his slower balls troubled the Indian batsmen a lot, especially in the first ODI. Jamieson is the bowler taking the most wickets in this series so far. He has taken 5 wickets in 2 matches.

Will Young

Will Young was a flop in the first ODI match against India, but in the second match, he played an inning of 87 runs in such a stressful time, when the New Zealand team had lost 2 wickets at 46. His staying at the crease for too long can also become a cause of trouble for Team India.

The three-match ODI series being played between India and New Zealand has reached an exciting turn. Team India won the first ODI in Vadodara while Kiwi team won in Rajkot. Now the third ODI match between the two teams will be played on Sunday, January 18 at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Whichever team wins this match, the series will be named after it. The Indian team, which has an excellent record in ODIs at home till now, will have to perform well in all three departments in the third and final ODI match to be held on Sunday to win the series against New Zealand. At the same time, the New Zealand team will also have its eyes on creating history by winning the series.

Let us tell you that since March 2019, Team India has not lost any bilateral ODI series on its home ground. Then, after falling 0-2 against Australia, the Indian team made a strong comeback and won the series 3-2. However, now this record of India is at stake. This match is also very important for New Zealand. The Kiwis have toured India for bilateral ODI matches since 1989, but have never won an ODI series here.

Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir would not want the team to face another series defeat at home under his leadership. Especially when he has made many unwanted records. Under Gambhir’s tenure as coach, India has lost five Test matches at home and lost the ODI series in Sri Lanka for the first time.

India’s defeat in the second ODI played in Rajkot was not because of any one extraordinary innings but because of New Zealand’s excellent control in the middle overs. Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten century was based on planned aggression. He especially targeted India’s spinners. This is one department in which India seems to be struggling in recent times.

Due to the small boundary of Holkar Stadium in Indore and the bowlers getting very little help from the wicket, the scope for error becomes even less. Questions are also being raised on India’s ability to face spin bowling. Despite the depth and strength of the team’s batting, its batsmen are looking uncomfortable in front of the spinners in the middle overs. Batsmen are not able to rotate the strike on important occasions. Now on a high-scoring ground, the middle overs can prove to be decisive.
