India vs New Zealand
India vs New Zealand: After losing to New Zealand in the first Twenty20 encounter of the three-match series on Friday at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, Team India had a disappointing day. When given the opportunity to bat first, the visitors scored 176/6 thanks to rapid scores of 59* and 52 from Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway. The Rohit Sharma-led team was then reduced to 155/9 despite Washington Sundar’s fast 50 off 28 balls. With a score of 21 runs, New Zealand won and now leads the three-match series 1-0. In the second T20I, which will be played on Sunday in Lucknow, Team India will try to recover.
India vs New Zealand: For the second T20I, the following is our expected India XI
Shubman Gill: The 23-year-old right-hander was dismissed for 7 runs in the opening game after failing to fetch a sizable total. In the second T20I, he plans to play more crucial innings.
Ishan Kishan: The wicketkeeper-batter, who is renowned for his hard-hitting innings, let everyone down in the first T20I when he was dismissed for 4.
Suryakumar Yadav: The star batsman played a knock of 47 off 34 balls, which was one of the positives for Team India. He can certainly play a better inning than that.
Rahul Tripathi: The right-handed hitter failed to add to his run total against New Zealand in the first T20I, falling for a duck. He earned his international debut in the second T20I against Sri Lanka.
Hardik Pandya: The captain struggled, scoring 21 runs in just 20 balls. In addition to this, he showed himself to be an extremely expensive bowler, giving up 33 runs in just three overs while failing to claim a wicket.
Deepak Hooda: In the first T20I, the right-handed hitter was out for 10 runs. In the upcoming game, Hooda will now try to play a massive knock.

Washington Sundar: The all-rounder ended up becoming the hero for the home team after scoring 50 off 28 deliveries to give India some hope. In addition to this, he took two wickets in four overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal was replaced by the left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who took one wicket. He was frugal, only allowing 20 runs to be scored in his four overs.
Arshdeep Singh: The young Indian pacer’s performance in the first T20I was forgettable, and his 12.80 economy rate made him the most costly bowler of the evening. 51 runs were given up in his four overs.
Shivam Mavi: In two overs, the right-handed bowler gave up 19 runs while taking one wicket.
Umran Malik: The Jammu and Kashmir pacer failed to pick up a wicket in the first T20I and was costly, scoring 16 runs in one over.
