Top 3 batters to watch out for in 3rd ODI

The third ODI of the five-match India-New Zealand series is set for November 10 at Seddon Park, Hamilton. India arrive at the venue having won both matches so far and lead the series 2-0, putting them in a position to seal the contest with two games remaining.

New Zealand, meanwhile, need a win to stay alive in the series. The series opened at Eden Park, Auckland on November 4, before moving to Hnry Stadium, Wellington for the second match on November 7. Hamilton now hosts what could be a decisive afternoon for both sides.

Here are the Top 3 batters to watch in India vs NZ 3rd ODI:

3. Shubman Gill

The Indian opener Shubman Gill has been the standout run-scorer in ODIs across 2026, accumulating 932 runs from 13 innings at an average of 93.20 and a strike rate of 114.91. His tally includes three centuries and five half-centuries, with a highest score of 223 not out.

However, after a decent start in the 1st ODI, Gill had a disappointing outing in the 2nd ODI. Given that Hamilton offers him a fresh surface, the Indian captain will be eager to return to his dominant best and put the series beyond New Zealand's reach.
