Kishan Out: India Eyes Series Win vs NZ
27 Oct
Summary
- Ishan Kishan out with a right adductor strain.
- India leads the five-match series 2-0 against New Zealand.
- New Zealand makes multiple changes to their squad for the third T20I.
Ishan Kishan will not participate in the third T20 International against New Zealand, scheduled for October 27 in Wellington. The decision comes as Kishan continues his recovery from a right adductor strain sustained during the first T20I. The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring his progress, with management opting against rushing his return to competitive play.
India currently holds a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series and has the opportunity to clinch it with a victory in Wellington. Sanju Samson is expected to continue as the wicketkeeper. The Indian squad anticipates minimal changes, though players like Abhishek Sharma are looking to make a more significant impact.
New Zealand has responded to the series deficit by making several alterations to their lineup. Pacer Lockie Ferguson has been granted a break and will rejoin the squad later, while Matt Henry has been withdrawn from the series entirely. Kyle Jamieson is set to join the New Zealand team for the third T20I.
