Middle order(Virat Kohli, Ambati Rayudu/Shubman Gill, MS Dhoni)
Virat Kohli, the best ever number three for India, scored 153 runs in three matches in Australia. He failed to convert the starts he got in the series and will be hopeful of a consistent run in New Zealand.
The young Shubman Gill might accompany him at number four after Ambati Rayudu failed to prove his worth in Australia. The team management might go back to play Rayudu but another failure may make way for the young Fazilka lad- Shubman Gill.
MS Dhoni will take the all important number five slot and will be expected to dig out his team out of the danger yet again.
