The third ODI match between India and New Zealand will be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 18th. It will be interesting to see if Team India makes any changes to their playing XI to secure a victory in the third match.
The performance of Team India’s star cricketers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will also be under scrutiny in this match. Virat Kohli performed brilliantly in the first match, scoring over 90 runs, but he didn’t score many runs in the second match. Rohit Sharma also didn’t score as many runs as expected in both matches.
