New Zealand defeated India in an ODI series at home. This is despite the Kiwis not having many of their regular players. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who must comeback to the Indian ODI Team.
1) Riyan Parag
Hardik Pandya will come back and make the No.6 a solid slot. However, due to his injury issues, India must already have a backup. Nitish Reddy is certainly a good choice, and someone like Riyan also fits the bill. He has a good game against the pacers and has power-hitting skills. Riyan can also provide spin, and that makes him a suitable choice.
2) Varun Chakaravarthy is one of the players who must comeback to the Indian ODI Team
With Kuldeep Yadav struggling to make an impact in the middle-overs, it is better if someone like Varun makes a return to the squad. He did well in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy and adds depth to the side.
3) Axar Patel
It is inevitable that Axar makes a return to the ODI squad. Ravindra Jadeja is not in great form and Axar at No.6 or No.7 adds strength to the squad. Hence, he is on this list.
