Delhi all-rounder Ayush Badoni joined the Indian team in Rajkot on Wednesday but will have to wait for his India debut.
The Shubman Gill-led side opted not to include him in the playing XI for the second ODI against New Zealand.
There has been a buzz around the 26 year old since he was named in the ODI squad as a replacement for Washington Sundar.
For the moment, Badoni has posed with his Team India jersey and will support his team-mates from the dugout.
