India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Playing XI: Suryakumar Yadav struck a blistering half-century as India held on to beat New Zealand by 5 wickets within the first of three Twenty20s in Jaipur on Wednesday and get Rahul Dravid’s reign as head coach off to a profitable begin.
Chasing 165, India clinched victory with two balls to spare because of a career-best 62 from Yadav, who performed some elegant strokes after captain Rohit Sharma (48) and KL Rahul (15) had given the hosts a fantastic begin with a 50-run opening stand.
The second sport of the collection is in Ranchi on Friday and India are unlikely to make any modifications. However, if the harm to Siraj is severe then Harshal Patel would possibly get a glance in.
New Zealand might contemplate bringing in Ish Sodhi rather than Todd Astle who proved to be costly within the earlier sport.
