Head Coach Gautam Gambhir with stand-in skipper Shreyas Iyer during a training session.
India will look to seal the five-match ODI series while Shreyas Iyer gets an opportunity to make a statement with the bat on his captaincy debut in the fourth match against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui.
Leading 2-0 after the third ODI was abandoned, India are well placed to clinch the series. New Zealand, meanwhile, must win the remaining two games to avoid a series defeat, having last lost an ODI series at home to India seven years ago.
Iyer will lead India in the final two matches after Shubman Gill left the squad to prepare for the Test series beginning November 19. K L Rahul and Anshul Kamboj have also departed to focus on red-ball cricket.
The changes open up opportunities for Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Mohammed Siraj. Iyer, who has struggled against the short ball during the series, will be keen to make an impression with the bat while taking charge of the side.
With Gill unavailable, India must decide who partners Rohit Sharma at the top. Kishan and Gaikwad are the leading contenders. Kishan, who missed much of the T20 series through injury, is also expected to take over wicketkeeping duties in Rahul's absence. He has previously scored a double century while opening in ODIs.
Rohit, meanwhile, will be eager for a substantial contribution after managing scores of 0 and 23 in the series. Gaikwad, who has scored a century and a half-century in his last four ODI innings, could also strengthen the middle order.
Siraj is likely to replace Kamboj in the bowling attack. The senior pacer has struggled for consistency in recent months but his four-wicket haul for India A last week should boost his confidence. Auqib Nabi and Arshdeep Singh are expected to retain their places.
New Zealand have also lost several key players, with Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Nathan Smith and Henry Nicholls switching to Test preparations.
Uncapped Brett Randell has been brought into the squad after impressive domestic performances, while Tim Seifert will be keen to make the most of his opportunity. Both sides will have to adapt quickly to the personnel changes in a demanding international schedule.
Squads:
New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (Captain), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Kristian Clarke, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay (Wicketkeeper), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Nick Kelly, Brett Randell, Tim Seifert (Wicketkeeper), Will Young.
India: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (Vice-Captain and Wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (Wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav.
