The fifth and last match of the ongoing five-match T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played on January 31 (Saturday) in Thiruvananthapuram. Earlier, Team India had to face defeat in the fourth match of the series. In such a situation, Team India, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, would like to end the series by winning the fifth match. Suryakumar Yadav can make changes in the playing 11 to win. A total of two changes can be seen in the team including Sanju Samson.
Will Sanju Samson be cut?
See, Sanju Samson has been made a part of the playing 11 in all four T20s so far. In the first three matches, Sanju could score only 10, 06 and 00 runs respectively. Despite this, he was given a chance in the fourth match. However, Sanju could not live up to the expectations even in the fourth match. He returned to the pavilion after scoring only 24 runs. Now it seems almost certain that Sanju will be out of the eleven from the fifth match.
In place of Sanju, Ishan Kishan can be included in the team in T20 in Thiruvananthapuram. Ishaan, who was in excellent form, had to sit on the bench due to a minor injury. However, Ishaan was seen running on the field during the drinks break in the middle of the match, which shows that his return in the last match is almost certain. Ishaan, who flopped in the first match, played a brilliant inning of 76 runs in the second T20. Then in the third match he scored 28 runs.
Varun Chakraborty may also return
Varun Chakraborty was seen playing in the first 2 T20s. Then in the third and fourth he was seen warming the bench. Now in the fifth match, he can be included in the playing 11 in place of Kuldeep Yadav or Ravi Bishnoi.
