Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan
Team India will travel to New Zealand without two key batsmen—Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In their absence, all-rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the team in the three T20Is starting in Wellington on November 18. However, Pandya is not in the ODI squad, which will be led by Shikhar Dhawan for a three-match ODI series beginning in Auckland on November 25.
Interestingly, Rishabh Pant, who was not part of the playing XI in the three T20I World Cup games in Australia, will be deputy to both Pandya and Dhawan on the NZ tour. Apart from Rohit and Kohli, opener KL Rahul was also rested from the white-ball series. Rohit and Rahul will return as skipper and deputy skipper respectively for the ODI sand two-Test series in Bangladesh in December and so will Kohli.
