So, for every Virat Kohli who's been rested for the series, there's an eager Prithvi Shaw ready to come in and prove his mettle.

Likewise, for every Mohammed Shami, there's a Shivam Mavi. And for every Kane Williamson and Tim Southee, there's a Finn Allen and Ben Lister simmering quietly on the sidelines. T

hat makes the three upcoming T20Is also a great opportunity for new captains Hardik Pandya and Mitchell Santner, who are seeking to build a squad and culture for the World Cup in 2024.

1st T20I Probable XIs:

India: Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Rahul Tripathi, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav

New Zealand: Devon Conway, Finn Allan, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Dane Cleaver, Mitchell Santner (c), Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner

When you don't want a popular player in the team the player is rested😆when you don't want a not so popular player in the team, the player is eliminated 😆

New Zealand won by 21 runs

That last over of Arshdeep 27 runs was the difference that made NZ win

There were 7 bowlers in the team still such a disappointing performance 👎🏼Among batters only Surya and Sunder performed. Rahul Tripathi took 6 balls and scored 0🥱

That 27-run last over gave New Zealand the momentum and they came firing with the ball. In an era of match ups, Santner got his spot on and India were rocked early as they were 15 for 3; Bracewell accounted for the left handed Kishan, Duffy sent back Tripathi and Santner outfoxed the right handed Gill. SKY and Hardik steadied the innings and brought India back into the contest by the halfway mark, but the pair departed in successive overs and left the lower order with too much to do. Washington continued his good game as he backed up his 2/21 with a maiden T20I fifty, if not for his knock the margin of defeat would have been even more. Santner ( 4-1-11-2) was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers and the skipper was well supported by his spin partners.

Woh last over mein 2 run deta to bhi NZ Jeet jaati. But he can't give only 2 runs because he has to bowl a no ball😊
