IND vs NZ LIVE: Men in Blue REACH Ahmedabad, India take on NewZealand in Series DECIDER on Wednesday – Follow LIVE Updates
The Men in Blue will be raring to go at the Kiwis with the series on the line. The Indian team has traveled to Ahmedabad for the much-anticipated series decider. Such has been the craze for the game that the online ticket sales for the game started on Friday and more than 60,000 tickets have already been sold. Every possible preparation is being made for the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to accommodate 1 lakh spectators.
There are also growing concerns in the Indian team after the previous two pitches offered no assistance to the batters. The Indian batters were troubled by the uneven bounce and spin conditions in Ranchi. In Lucknow, the Men in Blue struggled to reach the 100-run win target to bring the series to parity.

As India head to Ahmedabad for the series-deciding 3rd T20, there is not a lot of good news. Considering how the Motera Stadium pitches have been of late, India are in a spot of bother. India skipper Hardik Pandya have criticized the pitches for their poor performance, but that doesn’t turn the heads of the team selection.
Pandya and Rahul Dravid will have a couple of tough calls to make. The spots for Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan have come under the radar. Both the young openers have failed to live up to their form and this can pave way for Prithvi Shaw and Jiesh Sharma to feature in the game. On the other hand, Umran Malik’s spot is also in contention.
Pandya brought back the Kul-Cha pairing in Lucknow and in spin-friendly conditions, he might be tempted to use both wrist spinners. Arshedeep Singh can get his place back which will prompt the Kashmiri speedster to sit out on the bench.
