Kuldeep Yadav was left out of India's playing XI for the third ODI against New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton. India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first in a match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain delays. Despite calls from fans and experts to include the left-arm wrist spinner, India decided to field an unchanged winning lineup.
Alongside Kuldeep, senior fast bowler Mohammed Siraj also remained on the bench to manage player workload ahead of an upcoming two-match Test series. Leading the series 2-0, India sought a clean sweep, while New Zealand made one change to their side, bringing in Matthew Fisher for Blair Tickner.
