Will KL Rahul be retained in India's playing XI for the fifth ODI against New Zealand on 2026-11-04?

78%chance, per Kāla▲ 7 pts since the last update

Why

Historically, senior top‑order batsmen like KL Rahul are kept in India’s ODI XI unless injury or a major loss of form occurs, giving a baseline chance of about 60 % that he will play. Recent reports show Rahul was only briefly in the India A squad before re‑joining the senior ODI group for the New Zealand tour, and there have been no injury updates or selection statements excluding him, which pushes the odds higher.
