Amazing performance in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Arshdeep, while playing for his home team Punjab on January 3, bowled brilliantly against Sikkim. In his first match in the ongoing edition of Vijay Hazare Trophy, he took 5 wickets for 34 runs, for which he received the Player of the Match award.

The next few months are going to be very busy for Arshdeep. He is part of the India vs New Zealand ODI series starting from January 11. After this, he will play a 5-match T20 series against New Zealand, after which the T20 World Cup 2026 will start a week later. After the World Cup, all the players will join their IPL teams. Arshdeep Singh plays for Punjab Kings in IPL.

BCCI on Saturday announced the team for the ODI series against New Zealand starting from January 11. Rituraj Gaikwad, who scored a century in the last match, was not selected in the team. Captain Shubman Gill returned and Shreyas Iyer was selected as the vice-captain. The board said that Iyer will be able to play only after fitness clearance by BCCI’s Center of Excellence. Former Indian cricketer Subramaniam is unhappy with the selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy in the team instead of Badrinath Gaikwad.

Former cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath raised questions on the selection of the ODI team against New Zealand. Especially after Rituraj Gaikwad was out and Nitish Kumar Reddy was elected. Giving his opinion in a YouTube video, he said that he could not understand the reason for Nitish’s election. Especially when there are already many experienced all-rounders in the team. According to him, whenever Gaikwad got a chance, he performed well and it is unfortunate to drop him from the team.

What did Badrinath say?

He said, “There are 2 all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, along with them Nitish Kumar Reddy is also in the team. I don’t know why he is in the team. Why is he not in the team and why is Nitish Kumar Reddy in the team? There is definitely something wrong. The rest of the team selections were as expected and very good. The only concern is the selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy in place of Rituraj Gaikwad.”

Rituraj Gaikwad had played a brilliant inning of 105 runs in the second match of the last ODI series, which was his last ODI innings. Their batsman did not come in the third match. He also scored a century (124) against Uttarakhand in Vijay Hazare Trophy.

It is believed that Nitish Kumar Reddy has been selected in the absence of Hardik Pandya. BCCI had said in its statement, “Hardik Pandya has not been given permission by the BCCI COE to bowl 10 overs in a match, and his workload is being managed in view of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.”

India’s ODI squad

Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal.

IND vs NZ ODI: High voltage matches are always seen in ODI cricket between India and New Zealand. While the bowlers have left their mark in these matches, the batsmen have also entertained the spectators a lot by hitting sixes. Statistics show that in India vs New Zealand ODI matches, Indian batsmen have dominated the Kiwi bowlers for a long time.

Rohit Sharma – India

Rohit Sharma’s name is at the top in this list. Rohit has hit 47 sixes in 31 ODI matches against New Zealand between 2009 and 2025, which is the most sixes hit by any batsman in this rivalry. He has scored 1073 runs in 29 innings, in which his highest score was 147 runs. In many matches against Kiwi bowlers, Rohit has single-handedly changed the course of the match.

Sachin Tendulkar – India

India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar is in second place. Sachin hit 26 sixes in 42 ODI matches against New Zealand and scored a total of 1750 runs. His average was 46.05 and strike rate was 95.36. An excellent balance of aggression and class was seen in Sachin’s batting, which earned him a special place in this list.

Chris Cairns – New Zealand

Only one batsman from New Zealand has been able to make his place in this top 5 list and that is Chris Cairns. Cairns hit 25 sixes and scored 838 runs in 32 ODI matches against India. As an all-rounder, he many times hit big shots on the Indian bowlers and changed the course of the match.

Virat Kohli – India

Virat Kohli, one of the most successful batsmen of the modern era of Indian cricket, is also in this list. Kohli hit 24 sixes in 33 ODI matches against New Zealand between 2010 and 2025 and scored 1657 runs. His average was 55.23, which is the best in this list. Kohli has scored runs more on the basis of consistency and smart batting than on aggression.

Shubman Gill – India

The most interesting name in this list is that of young batsman Shubhman Gill, who has left a big mark in a short time. Gill hit 22 sixes and scored 623 runs in just 12 ODI matches. His average was 69.22 and strike rate was 104.70, which shows his aggressive and modern batting style.

IND vs NZ ODI: The rivalry in ODI cricket between India and New Zealand has always been exciting. Not only memorable innings have been seen in the matches played between the two teams, but the bowlers have also left their mark. Especially Indian bowlers have given many historic performances against New Zealand in the ODI format. If we look at the statistics, the dominance of some great bowlers in terms of taking wickets in India vs New Zealand ODI matches is clearly visible.

Javagal Srinath – India

The name at the top in this list is that of former Indian fast bowler Javagal Srinath. Srinath played 30 ODI matches against New Zealand between 1992 and 2003 and took 51 wickets while bowling in all 30 innings. His best performance was 4/23. During this period, his average was 20.41 and economy was 3.93, which shows his consistency and control. Srinath was India’s most successful ODI bowler against New Zealand for a long time.

Anil Kumble – India

At second place is India’s great leg spinner Anil Kumble. Kumble took 39 wickets in 31 matches against New Zealand between 1994 and 2003. His best bowling figure was 5/33. Kumble’s specialty was his accurate line-length and ability to take wickets under pressure. Although his average was slightly higher than Srinath’s at 27.84, his usefulness always remained on big occasions.

Mohammed Shami – India

At third place is the current star fast bowler Mohammed Shami. Who has left a big impact in very few matches. Shami has taken 38 wickets in only 16 ODI matches against New Zealand between 2014 and 2025. The special thing is that his average was 21.15 and strike rate was 20.68, which is one of the best in this list. Shami’s best performance was 7/57, which shows that he has the ability to single-handedly change the course of the match.

Tim Southee – New Zealand

The biggest name in this list from New Zealand is Tim Southee. Saudi has taken 38 wickets in 25 ODI matches against India. His best was 4/49. Although his average was 36.23, his contribution in taking wickets with the new ball has been important.

Kapil Dev – India

Apart from this, India’s great all-rounder Kapil Dev is also included in this list. Kapil Dev took 33 wickets in 29 ODI matches against New Zealand between 1979 and 1994. His tight bowling and experience have led India to many important victories.

Fans Emotional For Mohammed Shami: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami was once again ignored. On Sunday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India for the 3-match ODI series against New Zealand to be held from January 11. Fans were hoping that Shami would get a chance in the first series of 2026, but it did not happen.

The ignoring of Shami, who has consistently performed well in domestic cricket, also indicates that the Indian Cricket Board has moved ahead of him and perhaps this is the end of Shami’s international career. Even on social media, fans appeared emotional after Shami was not selected.

Fans became emotional about Shami

Fans appeared quite emotional on social media after not seeing Shami in Team India. While sharing Shami’s picture, a user wrote, “Today’s team selection indicated that Mohammed Shami’s international cricket career may probably end here.” Similarly, fans were seen very emotional about the Indian pacer.

This man has crossed all limits of bias.
Mohammed Shami, who has been consistently performing well in domestic cricket, is having his career ruined by Ajit Agarkar due to politics. No legendary player plays as much domestic cricket as Shami has.#mohammadshami #bccl #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/xw96MDko5d

Shami’s last match for India?

Let us tell you that Shami played the last match for Team India in the final of 2025 Champions Trophy. The thing to note is that Shami was the joint highest wicket taker for India in the Champions Trophy. He took 9 wickets in the tournament.

Continued excellent performance in domestic cricket

The thing to note is that Shami is currently playing Vijay Hazare Trophy for Bengal. In this 50 over tournament, Shami has taken 11 wickets in 5 matches. Earlier in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Shami had taken 16 wickets in 7 matches. The Indian pacer had also performed brilliantly in Ranji Trophy matches. Even after doing all this, Shami was not selected, which somehow makes it clear that his international career is over.

Shreyas Iyer will return from the ODI series against New Zealand, BCCI has announced the team. The 3-match ODI series will start from January 11, but even before that Iyer will be seen on the field. Know when and against which team he will play.

Shreyas Iyer was injured during the Australia tour in October last year. In the third ODI played in Sydney, he fell while taking a catch and got injured in his ribs. The scan revealed internal bleeding, after which he was admitted to the hospital. Vice-captain Iyer was also out of the ODI series against South Africa, but now he is going to make a comeback in the series against New Zealand.

When will Shreyas Iyer play?

It is reported that Shreyas Iyer will play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy before the ODI series against New Zealand. He will play for Mumbai team against Himachal Pradesh, this match will be held on 6th January. This will be special because this will be Iyer’s first big match after the injury.

After this, the second match of the series will be held in Rajkot on 14 January. Then the third and final match will be played on January 18 at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

All eyes are on the ODI squad against New Zealand, it remains to be seen whether vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is included in the team or not. BCCI can announce the squad on Saturday. Before this, a big update has come on Iyer’s fitness.

Shreyas Iyer is currently rehabbing at the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru. He was injured while fielding on the Australia tour. He fell while taking a catch and suffered internal injuries and internal bleeding. He was also out of the 3-match ODI series against South Africa, now fans are hoping that he will return from the ODI series against New Zealand.

Update on Shreyas Iyer’s fitness

According to the report, Shreyas Iyer has successfully completed his first match simulation session at BCCI’s Center of Excellence. He will do another similar session on January 5. If he passes it, the COE medical team will give him the necessary clearance to play domestic and international cricket.”

Shreyas Iyer impressed with his batting during the Australia tour. In the last match of the series, he got injured while fielding, at that time it appeared to be a normal injury but the scan revealed internal bleeding. After this he was admitted to a hospital in Sydney.

The first ODI against New Zealand will be played on 11 January. The second ODI will be held on 14th and the third match will be held on 18th January. That means, if the squad is announced on January 3, then Shreyas Iyer can be included, but BCCI will make it clear that the final decision on his playing will depend on the medical report.

shreyas iyer career

Talking about Iyer’s international career, he scored 811, 2917 and 1104 runs for India in 14 Tests, 73 ODIs and 51 T20 matches respectively. He has scored 5 centuries in ODI and 1 century in Test. Iyer is the captain of Punjab Kings in IPL 2026. Under his captaincy, he took Punjab to the final last year. The update regarding Iyer is also good news for Punjab.

Indian cricket team’s first series this year is against New Zealand, whose first match is on 11 January. BCCI has not yet announced the team for this 3-match ODI series. It is likely that the Indian team will be announced on Saturday, January 3. Before this, former cricketer Aakash Chopra has chosen his team.

India’s last ODI series was against South Africa, in which KL Rahul captained in the absence of Shubman Gill. India had won this series by 2-1. Virat Kohli had scored a century in 2 out of 3 matches and a half-century in one. Rohit Sharma and Kohli are in great form.

Aakash Chopra included Shubman Gill as captain in his team, although the surprising thing was that he also included Rituraj Gaikwad in his team. Actually, in the last series, Gaikwad was a part of the team due to Gill’s absence. The former cricketer chose Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul as the 2 wicketkeepers in his team while not Dhruv Jurel or Ishan Kishan. Let us tell you that Pant was a part of the team in the last ODI series, but he did not get a place in the playing 11.

What is Rishabh Pant’s mistake?

Aakash Chopra said, “I will keep Rishabh Pant at number-14, although there will be talk on why Pant was included, why not Ishan Kishan or Dhruv Jurel? You can keep anyone, but tell me what is Pant’s fault?”

‘Shreyas Iyer’s exit is certain’

Regarding the inclusion of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the team, Aakash Chopra said that Shreyas Iyer is almost certain to be out of the series as he has not got the clearance yet and hence, Gaikwad can continue to play at number 4 or 5.

Aakash Chopra said, “The update on Shreyas Iyer is that he will not be available for this series. So don’t be surprised if his name is not in the team, and if his name is not there, then Gaikwad will continue to play at number four. KL Rahul has been kept at number 5 as a wicketkeeper, batsman and probably the vice-captain in the team.”

Aakash Chopra also included Mohammed Siraj in his team, who last played against Australia in October. However, Chopra also did not give place to Mohammed Shami in his team.

Indian team selected by Aakash Chopra

Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Tilak Verma, Harshit Rana, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal.
