IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Will Team India’s playing-11 change even after victory? Who will sit out in the second T20, a change is possible

New Delhi. India registered a tremendous victory in the first T20 match against New Zealand in Nagpur. Today (23 January) the caravan of this series will reach Raipur, where both the teams will play the second T20 match at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium. Team India led by Suryakumar Yadav will look to maintain the winning streak and take a 2-0 lead in the series. Despite winning the first match, changes can be seen in the playing-11 of Team India today. This change could come in the form of Axar Patel, who got injured while bowling in Nagpur.

There is no need for much change in the team after the first match, but after Axar Patel’s injury, he may be given rest keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup. Akshar Patel got injured in his finger while taking a catch on his own bowling, after which he had to leave the field in the middle of the over. At present the situation regarding his fitness is not clear. It is believed that this star all-rounder will not play in Raipur.

A change is possible in the playing-11 of Team India

If Akshar is out then who will get the chance?
The big question is that if Akshar Patel is out of the playing-11, then who will enter? Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir can give a chance to Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav. In such a situation, two wrist spinners Varun Chakraborty and Kuldeep Yadav can be seen playing together for India, which is rarely seen. Team India’s batting looked strong in the first T20 International. In such a situation, the management can focus on bowling.

Eyes will be on Samson and Ishaan
Team India’s top order in this match is going to be the same as in the first match. However, after getting out cheaply in the first match, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan would like to return to form by playing a good innings in this match. Samson’s place is currently confirmed in the team but Ishan Kishan will have to score runs. He has got a chance at number-3 in place of Tilak Verma, who is out of the first three matches due to injury. On the other hand, Abhishek Sharma will once again play with the intention of giving a stormy start to Team India.

Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakraborty.
