There is no update on Yuzvendra Chahal’s shoulder injury while diving in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, which has now ruled him out for two straight matches. Akshar’s absence will allow India to try out Washington Sundar for an extended period in that No. 7 slot. Shardul Thakur may be seen at some point in the series ahead of Umran Malik, who bowled at an economy of over 6.8 in both matches against Sri Lanka and was rested for the third.
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik/Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal/Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj

Henry Nicholls could be the front-runner to replace Williamson in the XI from his last game, while the toss up in the bowling department will be between returning medium-pace all-rounders Duff Bracewell or Blair Tickner. The trio last played for New Zealand between April-July 2022.
Playing XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (C, wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner/Dough Bracewell, Lockie Ferguson
