Ishan Kisan, the big hitter, has been added to the Indian team. Since the openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer the middle-order batsman has tested positive.
Moreover, the net bowler Navdeep Saini has also tested positive for covid. So, there was no better option than adding Ishan Kisan adding to the Squad. However, earlier he was only included in the T20 squad.

Mayank Agarwal was also added to the squad, but will only be available on the match day as his mandatory three-day quarantine has started.

Ishan Kishan should open alongside Rohit Sharma in the ODI series: Saba Karim
“You don’t have options left as well as your squad has been severely depleted because of the players who have gotten infected. Because of that, I feel we will see a new approach. This will be the right combination as well because if Ishan Kishan opens with Rohit Sharma, the sort of character Ishan has, his strike rate is always high, which means he can take advantage of the powerplay.”
