India Tour of New Zealand 2019: India's predicted playing XI for the 2nd T20I

All-Rounders

Hardik Pandya

Junior Pandya will look to forget the bashing from the Kiwis

Though Hardik Pandya failed with both the bat and the ball, Indian side in all probability will persist with him due to X-factor and balance he brings to the table. Also, the pitch in Auckland tends to suit his bowling style where he can remove the scars of the bashing he received in the 1st T20I.

Krunal Pandya

Senior Pandya will look to stake his claim in the World Cup squad

Krunal Pandya had a decent outing in the first T20I as he conceded 37 runs and effected 1 dismissal. He also scored 20 runs with the bat and his left arm orthodox spin could come in handy during the middle-overs in the next match.

Kedar Jadhav

Jadhav can contribute both with the bat and the ball

Indian thinktank will most likely replace Rishabh Pant with this little dynamite named Kedar Jadhav as he can play the role of a finisher as well as a wicket-taker with the ball. He has the ability to break partnerships with his slinging action and can provide an extra bowling option to his skipper.
