Agree, they do have tons of faults like selections, not listening anyone but under their leadership team has touched plenty of milestone.
Just one example is upcoming test series. Virat, Rohit, Bumrah, Shami, Pant and Rahul are not in the test squad but still India starting as a fav against Kiwis (Winning is another ball game).
No one could say that about any test playing nation even when they are playing in their own backyard.
Looks like India is overconfident that they could win the match against New Zealand. They left out half the team and i am yet to look for the team playing the first match. The odds looks interesting and it looks like the odds makers neglected the fact that India is playing with a second string team and they might have given the odds for India playing in their home town which is not the same.Just one example is upcoming test series.

It is a probability but I think most of them have played too much cricket this year and need some rest. Also, it is good that new players have been given a chance in this match. If they are able to play well then it will prove that they can play in different formats without any issue. Shreyas Iyer and Shubham Gill need to prove themselves this time.
