Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to field in India's ODI against New Zealand on November 4, 2026.
India selected a pace-heavy attack with four pacers, leaving Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav out of the XI. Captain Shubman Gill explained they opted for a pace-heavy attack to exploit the conditions.
New Zealand made a change with Tim Seifert replacing Devon Conway due to a head injury, while the toss was delayed and live action commenced shortly afterward.
