Kohli, Bumrah, Rahul and Pant back in India's ODI squad
Bowlers Khaleel Ahmed, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Siraj have been left out from the squad that played in New Zealand recently. Siddharth Kaul will fill in for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been rested for the first couple of ODIs.
Rishabh Pant has also received an ODI recall. Making way for him is Dinesh Karthik, who failed to make his mark across five ODIs in Australia and New Zealand recently. The batsman, who serves as a reserve wicket-keeping option, retains his place in the T20I squad however.
