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.

India vs New Zealand The third and decisive match of the ODI series will be played on Sunday, January 18 at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Virat Kohli is in great form. Although his bat did not work in the last ODI, it is expected that he will do wonders in the decisive match. There are also expectations from Rohit Sharma, because he played a century against New Zealand in 2023 on this ground.

The first ODI international match was played at Holkar Stadium in Indore 20 years ago in 2006, in which India defeated England. After that, 6 One Day International matches have been held in Indore, in which once India also faced New Zealand.

How is Team India’s ODI record in Indore?

A total of 7 One Day International matches have been played at Holkar Stadium. In 20 years, Team India played 7 ODIs here, winning all of them.

Will there be any change in India’s playing 11?

Arshdeep Singh is in the squad, but he has not got a place in the playing 11. He is also in the T20 World Cup team, so many veterans believe that the management is giving opportunities to new options. Mohammad Siraj is leading this bowling, Harshit Rana has also impressed. In such a situation, if Arshdeep Singh plays the third ODI, then Prasidh Krishna may have to be out, although the possibility of this is less.
