5 players who could be picked for the fourth and fifth ODIs against New Zealand

#4 Yuzvendra Chahal

The leg-spinner from Haryana made his debut during the Zimbabwe tour, along with the likes of Nair and others and will hope to find a berth in the team for the remaining two ODIs.

Chahal does not have a great deal to shout about when it comes to his domestic performances but his IPL record speaks for itself. Chahal has been Virat Kohli's go-to man as far as bowling in the middle overs is concerned.

Chahal had a good tour of Australia with the India A side where he finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker with 7 wickets in 4 matches that included a four-wicket haul in the final to help his side win the four-team competition.

He started the present Ranji Trophy season on a positive note, having picked up a six-wicket haul against Hyderabad and will hope to find a berth in the final two ODIs against New Zealand.
