The second T20 match will be between India and New Zealand today at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Team India, who have already won the first T20 by 5 wickets, have won 1-0 in the three-match T20 series and are planning on winning the series. 

Rohit Sharma won the last match but it was not easy. The bowlers had a lot of runs. The role of the all-rounder was poorly handled. Thus, a major three change is expected in the second T20 match against New Zealand. So what does Team India Playing XI look like? Who’s new?

India’s opening pairing is great. Skipper Rohit Sharma and deputy captain KL Rahul are providing an explosive start to the team. Suryakumar, who plays Virat Kohli in his place, is also at fabulous form. In the last match, he was instrumental in the victory of the Indian Cricket team .

Batters in the middle order have failed. If the veteran Shreyas Iyer and the new talent Venkatesh Iyer play to their potential, the middle-order will be strong. Rishabh Pant is batting in his usual style.

Akshar Patel, who is in charge of the all-rounder, may not be as good as Kamal. Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are bowling well. Mohammed Siraj was expensive in the last game. 

Therefore, it is estimated that Avesh Khan will appear on the playing field. Similarly, Harshal Patel can play instead of Deepak Chahar. No wonder, though, that Yuzvendra Chahal played in Akshar Patel’s place.

The absence of regular captains Kane Williamson and Kyle Jamieson is also expected to make the New Zealand team lose the first match. 

Today’s match is a New Zealand match. New Zealand, having already lost the first match, is in a difficult situation to win the second match and keep the T20 series alive.

India Potential Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Venkatesh Iyer, Akshar Patel / Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
