New Zealand has elected to bat first against India after winning the toss in the first One-day International of the five-match series in Napier.
Both wrist spinners – Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal – figured in the India playing XI, apart from all-rounder Vijay Shankar. Dinesh Karthik has been dropped at the expense of Ambati Rayudu, while Kedar Jadhav retained his place.
Mitchell Santner and Doug Bracewell returned for New Zealand.
