India's Predicted Playing XI for the 5th ODI against New Zealand

All Rounders - Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya

Pandya will look to continue his comeback

Kedar Jadhav has failed to impress with the bat in the series and so, it would be good if Team India gives Vijay Shankar a chance in the final ODI. He was a part of the playing XI in the initial games but was dropped in Hardik Pandya's favour.

The all-rounder did not even get an opportunity to showcase his batting skills and thus, Rohit Sharma must include Shankar in the last ODI of the series.

Hardik Pandya has become more of a bowling all-rounder nowadays as the Indian team has been using him as their third seamer and also, send him to bat lower down the order. Pandya performed well with the ball in the 3rd one-dayer picking 2 wickets in his spell of 10 overs and so, Pandya should continue in that role at Wellington as well.
