Today Match Prediction for IND vs NZ

In  IND vs NZ Today Match Prediction, let’s see player stats and team form next

• Rishabh Pant: The aggressive keeper-batsman will be a very key player for this match.  In 2021, he has aggregated 515 runs at an average of 65.
• Virat Kohli: He has blown hot and cold in the recent past, but has scored runs whenever the conditions were tricky so he would be a great option to have.
• Rohit Sharma: Despite not boasting of a great record overseas he looks well equipped this time around. Most runs in WTC for India and has the highest average against NZ in Tests among the current squad of players.
• Ravindra Jadeja: Excellent form with both bat and ball, becomes a crucial pick (469 runs & 28 wickets in WTC)
• J Bumrah: Quality fast bowler and an automatic selection.
• Henry Nicholls: A very good player of swing and seam bowling he will be a handy pick to have. (585 runs @ 45 in WTC)
• Kane Williamson: His record in ENG is pretty average (30) and against India is also not great(36). But still, he is a player we cannot drop as he is the backbone of this NZ batting lineup ( 817 runs @ 58 average in WTC)
• Tim Southee: He will be the most important pick of this match, in outstanding form, and will be loving the fact that there a lot of right-handers in this opposition( 51 wickets in WTC & 14 wickets last year against IND). Differential captaincy choice
• Kyle Jamieson: Brilliant start to his Test career with 39 wickets in 7 matches, handy with the bat.
