IND vs NZ LIVE: Indian Cricket Team practice in Ranchi for 1st T20, Captain Hardik Pandya to address media at 3PM: Follow INDIA vs NewZealand T20 Series LIVE
The T20 team will be led by Hardik Pandya, who will try to extend their winning streak. So far, the all-arounder has done a good job of organising his troops and keeping his composure under pressure.
Rahul Tripathi, Shubman Gill, Shivam Mavi, Mukesh Kumar, and Prithvi Shaw are just a few of Pandya’s talented young players. All of these players have demonstrated class in domestic competitions; the challenge now is to carry that over to the international stage.
These young players will have a great opportunity to prove their worth and make a case for permanent selection in the T20 team during the series against New Zealand.
The Kiwis, meanwhile, will be captained by Mitchell Santner and include a few new players in their T20 side.
New Zealand will fancy themselves of playing well against a slightly inexperienced Indian side, despite the fact that the ODI outcome did not go their way.
