Former India bowler Tinu Yohannan has suggested that the Indian team should aim to win the toss and bat first in the upcoming One Day International series against New Zealand as part of their preparation for the 2027 World Cup.

Yohannan, who represented India in the early 2000s, believes that batting first will allow the side to practice setting targets and building innings under match conditions ahead of the global tournament.
