New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and decided to bowl first against India in the 1st ODI at Hamilton New Zealand are playing their first ODI since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat. Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw will be making their ODI debuts for India. Kohli: Probably we would have bowled first as well. Hard to defend here. It's a good track, going to be a challenge for us. Two debutants, both at the top. Kedar comes into the squad. The conditions are different from what you get back at home. We know we can be dominant at home, but the away performance is what makes us standout. We need to take the confidence into the series as well. In ODIs you'll see more guys getting chances. Latham: We are going to have a bowl. Chasing here's a good option, with one short boundary it's going to be hard to defend. Mitch Santner and Ish Sodhi are playing. Things haven't been going well for us. India (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli(c), Shreyas Iyer, Lokesh Rahul(w), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham(w/c), Tom Blundell, Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett
