Chahal was not included in the India playing 11 for the first ODI and while Kuldeep took two wickets, he was also conceded 84 runs and was thus the most expensive among the Indian bowlers. On the other hand, New Zealand skipper Tom Latham would like to go with the same playing 11 from first ODI, given the bowlers and batsmen stepped up in crunch situations. However, Scott Kuggeleijn is ruled out of the second ODI due to illness while according to various media reports Auckland pacer, the six-foot-eight tall Kyle Jamieson is set to make his debut on home ground on Saturday, replacing Ish Sodhi in the side.
