IND vs NZ 3rd Test: India’s winning of Test matches has ended by New Zealand. Rohit Shamra led team India’s confidence has touched a new low against the visitors. New Zealand got a back-to-back easy win against the hosts in Bengaluru and Pune. The Kiwis have already grabbed the three match test series with a trailing 2-0 scoreline.
Team India has no chance to claim the series, but they can pile up the series with some sweet notes before flying to Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, where India and Australia will lock horns with each other in five test matches, straiting from November 22. India’s last test match against New Zealand will be 1-5 November in Mumbai Wankhede Stadium. Captain Rohit Sharma and Coach Gautam Gambhir are likely to think about multiple changes in the playing XI for the remaining match of the ongoing series.
As the fate of the IND vs. NZ test series has decided, some changes in the line-up will not surprise cricket fans. India has no replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, so he is likely to get a break before the Australia tour. In Bumrah’s absence, India can go out with Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep pace duo.
Rishabh Pant got his knee injured in the first test match. He batted with his injured knee in the Bengaluru Test. Team India did not take any risk to put out Pant from the second Test match. Druv Jurel is in the Test squad to replace. If Pant asks to rest, then Jurel can enter into the IND vs. NZ 3rd Test playing eleven.
India’s probable playing XI for the 3rd Test match against NZ:
Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Subhman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant/Druv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah/ Mohammed Siraj.
