In the ODI series between India and New Zealand, India defeated New Zealand 3-0. The three-match T20I series between the two teams begins on Friday, January 27 at 7 p.m. in Ranchi. In a T20I series, the Kiwis have never defeated India at home. New Zealand might be excited about their chances because many of the regulars for the home team won’t be in the series.
However, despite not having rested Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, or KL Rahul, Team India will begin the series as a favorite because they are always a formidable opponent at home. For the T20I series, India will have many new players, but ODI regulars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been left out.
The T20 team will once again be led by all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has been in excellent form with both the bat and the ball. After more than a year and a half, India has chosen Prithvi Shaw to play for them. It is likely that the aggressive opening batter, who has performed admirably in domestic cricket, will be given a chance. Naturally, India’s batter to watch out for is Suryakumar Yadav.
He has been one of the best T20 batters in the world, scoring a stunning 112* off 67 balls earlier this month against Sri Lanka. This was his third T20I century in 45 T20Is, where he has averaged 46.41 and struck out 180.34 times.
