IND vs NZ: 2 changes decided in the playing 11 of Team India against New Zealand, this stormy batsman will enter!
IND vs NZ: All-rounder Hardik Pandya will not play in the World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand on Sunday due to a left ankle injury. Now the biggest question is who will be his replacement? Because with his absence, the batting order along with the bowling will also be disturbed. In such a situation, there can be two major changes in the playing of Team India?
The Indian cricket team suffered a big setback before the match against New Zealand in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on Sunday. Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of this important match due to a left ankle injury. He has been advised to rest. Instead of going to Dharamshala, he will join the team for the match against England in Lucknow on October 29. Now the biggest question is who will be his replacement in Dharamsala against New Zealand? Because of his absence, the batting order along with the bowling will also be disturbed. In such a situation, there can be two major changes in the playing of Team India?
Talking about the pitch of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, fast bowlers get help here. Due to the movement of clouds in the sky and strong winds, the ball swings a lot. Along with this, the batsmen also get help due to good bounce on the pitch. If the batsman plays carefully in the beginning, he can also score a big score. At the same time, as the game progresses, spin bowlers may also get help.
The Indian team management will have to think a lot about Hardik Pandya's replacement and team combination considering the behavior of the Dharamshala pitch. In such a situation, an expert batsman Suryakumar Yadav may get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya. At the same time, to strengthen the bowling order, Mohammed Shami can be played in place of Shardul Thakur.
Hardik Pandya is a fast-bowling all-rounder, and Shardul Thakur fits in his place. But, Shardul Thakur's performance in the three matches played so far has been very ordinary and he has not been able to complete even his quota of 10 overs in any match. In three matches so far, he has taken only two wickets for 102 runs in 17 overs. Many cricket experts have also raised questions about his inclusion in the playing eleven. In such a situation, they can be thrown out.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
