Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of Second T20I Due to Injury
· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express
Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of India's second T20I match against New Zealand after sustaining a low-grade right adductor strain. The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed the injury occurred during the opening match at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is now positioned to return to the playing XI as India looks to extend its 1-0 lead in the five-match series. In the series opener, New Zealand posted 225/4 before India successfully chased the target thanks to notable performances from Sanju Samson, captain Shreyas Iyer, and Naman Dhir.
Why it matters
Kishan's absence forces a tactical reshuffle in India's batting order and gives 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi another international opportunity.
