Summary
India take on New Zealand in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on Friday, November 13, with the visitors looking to seal the five-match series. At the toss, Shreyas Iyer walks out as India's captain, with regular skipper Shubman Gill missing from the leadership role.
Iyer wins the toss and elects to bat first, giving India an opportunity to put up a big total and take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
Why Is Shreyas Iyer Leading India in the 4th ODI?
Gill, along with wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul and fast bowler Anshul Kamboj, has left the ODI squad to join India's Test preparations ahead of the two-match series against New Zealand, beginning November 19.
Iyer, who served as India's vice-captain in the first three ODIs, takes over the leadership responsibilities for the remaining two matches.
The fourth ODI marks Iyer's first assignment as India's captain in the 50-over format. He brings leadership experience from domestic cricket and the IPL and now has an opportunity to guide India to a series victory.
