Cometh the ODI series against New Zealand, the team India management would look to fill in the gaps and prepare a strong squad for next year’s ODI World Cup. With almost ten years without any major trophy, Rohit Sharma and the company is likely to act strict going forward as team India faced a massive issue with the number four spot in the 2019 version of the tournament. Despite Ambati Rayudu performing well, the cricketer was dropped for Vijay Shankar, which later became a massive failure.

In order to avoid such errors, consistency is one such thing that will be very important for every player in the future, especially in the series against New Zealand when a lot of senior cricketers have decided to take a break. The situation also invites pressure as there are cricketers who are yet to cement their place in the Indian team. Thus, the series against the Kiwis can either help them get an additional run or the fans might see them taking a break or end their ODI careers.

Three Indian cricketers who’ll be under pressure in the ODI series against New Zealand

For the majority of Kuldeep Yadav’s time in ODI cricket, he was former captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/at-least-your-debut-was-better-than-mine-shubman-gill-recalls-ms-dhonis-morale-boosting-words-after-forgettable-debut/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> and Virat Kohli’s go-to bowler in the format. Alongside Yuzvendra Chahal, he used to destroy the opponent in the middle overs, giving India the advantage. However, the left-arm spinner failed to remain consistent and eventually lost his place in the Indian team.

With the next year’s ODI World Cup scheduled to take place in India, Kuldeep can be a very lethal option for Rohit Sharma. He is someone who can be very difficult to read but at the moment, Yadav is pretty behind in the pecking order. With Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar performing well, Kuldeep will be under tremendous pressure to deliver good performances on a consistent basis.&nbsp;

In 72 ODIs so far, the Kanpur-born spinner has picked up 118 wickets at an economy of 5.19. Even though he can be costly at times, the spin wizard is capable of picking wickets at regular intervals. In the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Kuldeep picked up just three wickets in four matches. However, in India’s last ODI series against South Africa, he picked up six wickets, including a four-wicket haul at Delhi.

The time has come for wicketkeeper batter <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/drop-the-others-give-him-ten-matches-ravi-shastri-wants-team-management-to-give-more-game-time-to-sanju-samson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sanju Samson</a> to step up and cement his spot in the Indian team. With Rishabh Pant currently out of form, Samson can take his spot in the playing XI, but the cricketer needs to prove himself first - something that’s still due in international cricket.

The opportunities so far for him have been pretty limited as well. In 10 ODI matches so far, Samson has scored 294 runs with a strike rate of 106.13. He is very likely to play all three matches against New Zealand in the ODI series and thus, will have a massive opportunity to prove the selectors wrong, who didn’t pick him for the T20 World Cup and recently concluded New Zealand T20Is , despite performing well in the Indian Premier League.

Now, with responsibility, comes pressure. The Rajasthan Royals skipper cannot afford to lag behind anymore as India enters an important chapter. At this point in time, the team demands consistent performers who can help them win the prestigious trophy next year. Thus, Sanju, who hasn’t been consistent so far, needs to play his best cricket to overtake Pant and get into India’s scheme of things.

India’s stand-in ODI captain against New Zealand, Shikhar Dhawan, is having a challenging time in international cricket. However, his numbers for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy have been encouraging. However, despite leading the Indian side at the moment, Shikhar Dhawan’s spot might be at risk when other senior cricketers return.

KL Rahul will be eager to open alongside <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/dont-know-who-is-seeing-him-as-captain-salman-butt-backs-rohit-sharma-amid-calls-of-hardik-pandyas-captaincy-appointment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> in ODI cricket but is unable to do so because of Dhawan’s presence. The youngster Shubman Gill too is proving his class in international cricket and thus, the 36-year-old needs to remain consistent and be at the top of the game every time he steps on the field. In case he fails to do so, Dhawan can very well lose his spot in the squad. Thus, he will be under tremendous pressure in the coming series.

In 161 ODI matches so far, the southpaw has scored 6672 runs at a strike rate of 91.78. He is someone who can play both the roles of an anchor and a smasher, which eventually helps the other batter settle down. Now, after a poor home series against South Africa, Dhawan would expect to return back to form and cement his place at the top of the order.
