On January 27th, India will take on New Zealand in the 1st T20I of the New Zealand tour of India 2023 in JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi. 

Hardik Pandya will be leading Team India in all three T20 matches. The men in blue are coming into this series after whitewashing the Kiwis 3-0 in the ODIs. Big names – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on rest, which means, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are expected to open, while Suryakumar Yadav might appear for the third wicket.

Both spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to play. In the fast-bowling department, Umran Malik and Shivam Mavi will have another opportunity to build on their performances against Sri Lanka. India have won all three T20I played in Ranchi so far, including one against New Zealand in November 2021.

After being whitewashed in the ODIs, New Zealand will look to bounce back in the T20Is. But once again, they are without Kane Williamson and Tim Southee. Mitchell Santner will take over the captaincy from Tom Latham, who had led in the ODIs.

Apart from Lockie Ferguson, their pace attack is also thin on experience. Ben Lister and Henry Shipley are uncapped in the format, while Blair Tickner and Jacob Duffy have played only 14 and eight T20Is, respectively. The good news for them is that Ish Sodhi is fit and will be in action in the first match.
