India suffered their first whitewash in ODIS after 30 years, losing to New Zealand. West Indies handed India a 5-0 defeat at home in Match, 1989, and South Africa won 4-0 on home soil in 2006 after the first match was abandoned. The Black Caps put in an all-round display to wrap up India in the series and 3rd ODI at Mount Maunganui. India will be disappointed particularly with the displays of their bowlers. India set a 296-run target, which the hosts crossed in 47.1 overs. Follow here highlights of New Zealand (NZ) Vs India (IND) here.

06:55 hrs IST: Good morning everyone and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the 3rd ODI between New Zealand and India. Will the hosts complete a cleansweep or can Virat Kohli's restore pride?
India were comprehensively beaten in the first ODI even after posting 347 in Hamilton with Ross Taylor setting up a record chase for the Kiwis. The veteran wasn't done. He dropped the anchor in Auckland, guiding hosts to another convincing win for an unassailable 2-0 lead. Also, they didn't feel the loss of mercurial skipper Kane Williamson, who needed time to recuperate his injured shoulder. But the skipper all set to make a return.

But India sure missed the services of Rohit Sharma, their Hitman. With experienced Shikhar Dhawan's also missing the action, the visitors have failed to wrest the early initiatives in both the outings. Both Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal are good, but here, they were found wanting.
Virat Kohli, who downplayed the importance of ODIs in a T20 World Cup year, is likely to make more than a couple of changes. The likes of Rishabh Pant and Manish Pandey are likely to make the playing XI. Another worrying aspect is the shape of Shardul Thakur, his figurative figures. The pacer, despite his batting abilities, may face the axe.
