Cricket fans are in for a treat as India host New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series at Kotambi International Stadium, Vadodara, on Sunday. The stadium will see its first-ever men's ODI, bringing international cricket back to Vadodara after more than a decade. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who return to lead India's batting lineup.
The last men's international at Kotambi was also between India and New Zealand on December 4, 2010, when Gautam Gambhir starred for India with a brilliant century. Over a decade later, the stadium will once again host the Men in Blue.
