If VK and RO are there, there's some interest.

Goenka will be worried. But he will be fit by ipl time. They have lot of good players like Pooran, Marsh, Markaram who can be backup captains.

Now Arjun Tendulkar s also there.

India won the first toss of 2026

Good start

Thank you Raji for the thread and for tagging me.

WPL match between GG Women and DC Women at 7:30 PM IST

Join us for discussion in both of them.

Cheers..

Shubman Gill - We will bowl first. Honestly, try different kinds of combinations, you know, see what combination suits us the best for different conditions, obviously when we play in India. Whenever you're bowling second, there's a bit of a challenge with the dew, and so try out what kind of combination suits our condition the best. It looks like a good wicket. Hopefully, I think it'll be a little bit easier to bat on in the second innings with the new coming in, and that was the thought process behind bowling first. I think playing a bit of VH series, everyone is coming after playing some matches, so everyone looks in good form. We've played a lot of cricket together, so you know, the environment is always nice and calm whenever we get together. We are going with six bowlers, with Washi, Jadeja, Kohli as the spinners, and Prasidh, Siraj, and Bhashan. Have a good one, Shikhar. Thank you. So Michael, what would you have planned when you won the Isles? It looks like a good surface, I think it'll be a little bit easier to bat on in the second innings with the new coming in, and that was the thought process behind it. India playing a lot of formats of the game. You've had hardly any time to get together as a team. What's your thoughts on the preparation? I think playing a bit of middle-sides, everyone is coming after playing the middle-sides matches, so everyone looks in good form. We've played a lot of cricket together, so you know, the environment is always nice and calm whenever we get together. We are going with six bowlers, with Washi, Jadeja, Kuldeep as the spinners, and Prasidh, Siraj, and Harshit.

India have won the toss and have opted to field

Teams:

New Zealand (Playing XI): Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Hay(w), Michael Bracewell(c), Zakary Foulkes, Kristian Clarke, Kyle Jamieson, Adithya Ashok

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

Michael Bracewell -It looks like a good surface, would have bowled first but I'm happy to be batting. We've been here for a little bit of time now. It's a big series for us. First of all, every time we play New Zealand, that's a proud moment. And also here, you get used to the conditions here in India before the World Cup. It's a huge advantage to us. We're very much excited about this series. We're looking forward to it. It's always great to play here in India with the crowd and the fans. And it's a new experience for all the guys, but there's also a few experienced guys in the group. So we're certainly banking on that experience. Looks like a decent wicket. Maybe a little bit lower than some of the pitches in New Zealand. But we just have to be quick to adapt to the conditions. We've got Kristian Clark making his debut today and Ashok Aditya is our main spinner.

Gill plz ye toss jeetne ka silsila barkarar rakhna
