Tendulkar has 16,440 ODI runs, 6765 more than New Zealand's 12 players together.Can he make any difference?

India Have won 9 out of their last 10 ODIs.But After two successive losts in the T20 india is going to take on NZ in ODIs.Which form we can consider should we consider India have lost their lst 2 matches(infact 3, including last ODI with SL) or India have won 9 out of last 10 ODIs.
What might be the result of First ODI.Can Indians won the first match?

Also,the news is that Ishanth is not going to play the first ODI.How much it will effect indian bowling.I think indian pace men were really struggled to take wickets in T20 matches.Who could be the replacement for Ishath..is i tPraveen Kumar or Munaf patel?

And also sachin is playing in the First ODI.Tendulkar has 16,440 ODI runs, 6765 more than New Zealand's 12 players together.Can he make any difference?

India need to won first ODI on tomorrow,if not they will be depressed a lot and it has huge impact on remaining ODIs.
Thank you,
