🏏India vs NZ, 3rd ODI - Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore - 24/01/23 🏏 - Page 2

JOYDEEP GILL: "How's the weather over there , is there rainy weather or warm." Deiva will answer that for you: The weather is nice and pleasant in Indore. It is likely to be fine for the duration of the game. There is some covering of grass near the middle of the pitch, but it will probably be another Indore belter. The ball was flying off the bat during the training sessions yesterday. It might be the same today as well.

1pm NZ win the toss and will bowl. Short boundaries and dew later on are the primary reasons for that. One change: Jacob Duffy comes in for Shipley

Rohit says they would have batted first! With the series in the bag, he would have put his team under challenging conditions of bowling under lights with the dew. He still wants to see what more they can get out of this game. Two changes: Shami and Siraj are out, Umran Malik and Chahal come in.

Thanks for the tag🧡

All the best to both teams, Kiwis are yet to cross the finish line first this series.

Congratulations to the newlyweds...they looked lovely 😇

India bats first, let's see if the top order performs again!

Santner: I like to mix things up and not be predictable. It's trying to be smart and using the bigger pocket, if there is any. Being captain for T20Is is a cool experience, it's a crazy cricketing country. It's going to be exciting and nervous.

New Zealand: 1 Finn Allen, 2 Devon Conway, 3 Henry Nicholls, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (capt & wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Michael Bracewell, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Jacob Duffy, 10 Blair Tickner, 11 Lockie Ferguson

India: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Ishan Kishan (wk), 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Yuzvendra Chahal, 11 Umran Malik

Duffy is swing bowler played couple of ODI he opened bowling for Otego

The last time Kuldeep and Chahal played together in an ODI was way back in 2021 and it's only the third such instance in an ODI since the 2019 World Cup. And they're playing today on a ground with short boundaries.

We need 400 koz last time india chased 294 successfully vs Mighty Australia at Indore
