India's Predicted XI vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI: Will Umran Malik Find A Place?

Team India registered a 12-run victory in a thrilling first ODI against New Zealand and took 1-0 lead in the three-match series

Team India registered a 12-run victory in a thrilling first ODI against New Zealand and took 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Shubman Gill became the star for the hosts as he smashed his maiden double hundred and guided Team India to a total of 349/8. Later, Mohammed Siraj continued his blistering form and scalped four wickets as the visitors were restricted to 337, despite a heroic knock from Michael Bracewell (140). As the Rohit Sharma-led side benched young pacer Umran Malik in their last two ODI games, there are chances that he might find himself a place in the Playing XI in the second ODI against New Zealand on Saturday.

Here's what we think could be India's predicted XI vs New Zealand in the second ODI:

Rohit Sharma: The Indian skipper looked in good touch as he formed a promising partnership with Shubman Gill before departing for 34 off 38 balls. Rohit will definitely look to get a big score in the second ODI.

Shubman Gill: The young opener shattered numerous records during the first ODI after he achieved his maiden double hundred and became the youngest player in the world to reach the landmark. He will be the centre of attention in the second ODI.

Virat Kohli:The star batter completely shut the critics with a phenomenal performance in the ODIs against Sri Lanka. Even though he was dismissed for 8 runs in the first ODI against New Zealand, he will look to bounce back in the second match.
