New Delhi: The second cricket match of the ongoing T20 series between India and New Zealand is to be played today i.e. on Sunday (November 20). Let me tell you that, the first match was washed out due to rain and now the fans hope that some action will be seen here. The toss has been done in this match and New Zealand decided to bowl first after winning the toss and invited India to bat first.
In the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya is captaining the Indian T20 team, while wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is the vice-captain. Apart from Rohit, veteran batsman Virat Kohli and opening batsman Lokesh Rahul have been rested for this tour. In the absence of experienced players, Shubman Gill, Umran Malik, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson have been given a chance in the team.
India: Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya(w/c), Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson
