Follow
India stands on the verge of clinching their five-match series as they head into the third fixture with a two to zero advantage over New Zealand. Amidst seaming tracks and wet weather at Seddon Park, senior batsman Rohit Sharma faces intense scrutiny to improve his output following low scores in the opening two encounters.
Skipper Shubman Gill aims to wrap up the series before stepping away to prepare for upcoming red-ball matches in Wellington, paving the way for Shreyas Iyer to assume leadership duties for the final fixtures. Meanwhile, the home side struggles with squad fitness issues affecting their lineup, while tactical choices by head coach Gautam Gambhir regarding batting orders continue to draw attention.
