Suryaa Sports Desk: For the second match of the prestigious Twenty20 series on New Zealand soil in Christchurch, the Indian national... The Indian national cricket team is all set for the second match of the prestigious Twenty20 series against New Zealand at Christchurch. Team India, who came out on top with a fantastic win in the first match, hopes to continue the same momentum in the second match and take the series further. But before this crucial battle, the Indian team had an unexpected setback. Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak officially confirmed that star wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of this match due to a groin injury. Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi's inclusion in the final squad has become a formality in the place vacated by Ishan Kishan's absence.
If he plays in the final team, Vaibhav Suryavanshi will open India's innings along with Abhishek Sharma, while veteran Sanju Samson will bat first down. Limited to the bench for the last few series, Vaibhav now gets a real chance. The young player, only fifteen years old, has experience of facing the Kiwis fast bowlers and is ready to explode on home soil. On the other hand, the management is likely to make some key changes in the fast bowling department as well. Despite taking one wicket in the first T20 match, Mayank Yadav scored forty runs in his quota of four overs and it is reported that young pacer Prince Yadav will be brought in to replace him in the final squad. The coaching staff initiated this strategic change to strengthen the bowling department.
This young team led by captain Shreyas Iyer is determined to completely dominate the opponent once again. Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Akshar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav are likely to make it to the final Indian squad for this second Twenty20 match. Continuing the winning momentum of the first match, Team India is trying hard to record another historic victory by thrashing the Kiwis bowlers. The interest of the cricket fans has reached a peak on the issue of how the performance of the new players will be in this thrilling battle.
