India captain Shubman Gill unveiled the team's batting strategy ahead of the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, which commences in Auckland on Wednesday. The top four batters are locked in, comprising right-handed players like Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer. Gill emphasized that the middle order will be flexible, with Yashasvi Jaiswal putting on a remarkable display of 155 unbeaten runs, and KL Rahul and Axar Patel sharing the duties of the No. 5 and No. 6 slots based on the match scenario.
The flexible approach for the middle order positions KL Rahul and Axar Patel to step in depending on the situation. Gill also addressed Hardik Pandya's potential return, stating that the all-rounder must play domestic cricket prior to rejoining the India squad. Gill, who had a neck injury during the Kolkata Test, dismissed concerns about his neck, asserting that he was comfortable batting for an hour and a half and conducting fielding without any issues.
