India Begin 2027 World Cup Preparations Under Gill's Captaincy
India started their preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup with the first match against New Zealand at Eden Park. Captain Shubman Gill confirmed the top four batting positions are settled, but the middle order remains uncertain. India may try Axar Patel as a floater and consider KL Rahul at No. 5. Bowling concerns persist due to Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya's absence. New Zealand also face selection challenges with key players injured or unavailable.
