NZ vs IND, 3rd T20I: Bhuvneshwar in focus as India looks for series-clinching win in windy Wellington

India aims to secure a series victory in the third T20I against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve, maintaining an unbeaten streak in the country that began in 2020. Despite missing Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, the team leads the series following two high-scoring wins in Christchurch.

Bowling coach Morne Morkel has expressed support for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who faces scrutiny after conceding 99 runs across his two recent appearances. The squad is preparing for the unique challenge of the venue's crosswinds, which may influence tactical decisions for the upcoming match.
