India swapped wins with Australia after their opening match against New Zealand was washed out.
Bombay spinner Sairaj Bahutule is likely to act as a stand-in for Kumble, who has 310 wickets in 244 one-day internationals.
And left-arm pace bowler Ashish Nehra is also in the squad for the first time since having surgery on his left ankle in April.
Winless New Zealand, who are staying in Bombay before the match, missed a scheduled practice session on Tuesday after a mix-up over security.
An Indian cricket board official said the tourists had asked for nets to be set up at Brabourne Stadium but that no security arrangements had been made.
