Senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested for this series. While the captaincy of the Indian team is in the hands of Hardik Pandya, the command of the New Zealand team is in the hands of experienced all-rounder Mitchell Santner. In such a situation, through this article, we know which players Hardik Pandya can give a chance in the playing-XI in the first T20 match.
1. This pair will open the innings: In the first T20 match (IND vs NZ 1st T20) against New Zealand, Shubman Gill and Ishaan Kishan can open the innings for the Indian team. Let us tell you that before the first T20 match, Hardik Pandya has told that seeing the form of Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw may have to wait a bit. In such a situation, in the first T20 match, the pair of Shubman Gill and Ishaan Kishan can be seen rocking the field.
2. This could be the middle order of the team: At the same time, Rahul Tripathi can get a chance in the playing-XI at number three. Please tell that Rahul did a great performance against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, the expectations of him getting a chance are high. Suryakumar Yadav is set to play at number 4, who may not have done anything special in the ODI series, but against Sri Lanka, he made a splash in T20 cricket by playing a century and a half-century. In such a situation, everyone has expectations from him to play a big innings.
Hardik Pandya will be seen playing at number 5, who is leading the team for the T20I series. In such a situation, Hardik will definitely fulfill the duty of being the captain and there are expectations of a great innings from his bat in Ranchi ground.
Deepak Hooda can be seen playing at number 6. Hooda is an all-rounder player, but he has got more chances to bat in the last matches. In such a situation, there are special expectations from Hooda in the first T20 match to be played in Ranchi. At the same time, Washington Sundar can play the role of match finisher, who has contributed brilliantly with both ball and bat in the last few matches.
3. The bowling section of the team will remain like this: Let us tell you that fast bowler Shivam Mavi, who made his international debut against Sri Lanka, may get a chance to play in the first T20 against New Zealand (IND vs NZ 1st T20). Shivam Mavi did a great job in his debut match. In such a situation, his playing is considered fixed. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh and stormy bowler Umran Malik may also get a chance. In the spin department, Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance, who is currently in excellent form.
