India vs New Zealand 2017: India's predicted playing XI for first ODI

All-rounders

It was around this time last year that Kedar Jadhav established himself as one of India's bowling options. He took wickets for fun against the New Zealand line-up last year and once again, is set to take on the same opposition.

Though he has contributed with the ball on a consistent basis, his performances with the bat have not been consistent enough for someone who bats at number 6 for an International team. He will look to turn things around when he takes the field against the Kiwis.

Over the last few months, Hardik Pandya has established himself as an important member of the Indian team. There is no way he is going to sit out of this playing XI.
