IND vs NZ: Difficult for Ishan-Surya to play in place of Hardik, the playing 11 will be like this against New Zealand today

Before the important match against New Zealand today, Indian Team India suffered a big blow. While wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan was bitten by a bee during net practice at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, Suryakumar Yadav also got hit by the ball on his right wrist during the net session. Both of them have not practiced after this. It seems difficult for both of them to play against New Zealand. Whereas Hardik Pandya is out due to injury. In such a situation, selecting the playing 11 will prove to be a big challenge for captain Rohit Sharma.

The Indian team management is facing difficulties due to Hardik Pandya's injury in the match against Bangladesh. Fast bowling all-rounder Pandya was playing the role of bowler and middle-order batsman in the team very well. Therefore, it will not be easy for the team management to replace him. In such a situation, two big changes can happen in Team India today.

Mohammed Shami can be included in the team in place of Hardik Pandya. Shami can fill the gap of a fast bowler in place of Hardik Pandya. At the same time, it is difficult to fulfill the shortage of batsmen, because both Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are finding it difficult to play. In such a situation, it would be a compulsion to play Ashwin in place of Shardul Thakur. Because Shardul has not been able to do anything special in the last three matches.
