IND vs NZ Live Score Updates: Middle order batting, death overs bowling in focus as India look to seal series – The Times of India

With the bat, Shubman Gill, who scored a scintillating double century, had singlehandedly taken India to a competitive total with the others falling by the wayside. Virat Kohli’s individual effort had stood out in the previous game against Sri Lanka. Hardik Pandya, who has not been at his belligerent best of late, will be expected to give final flourish to the innings. Accommodated in the middle-order following his double hundred performance in Bangladesh, Ishan Kishan would be itching to make the most of the opportunity after an off-day in Hyderabad. Skipper Rohit Sharma has looked good and got starts but has not been able to convert, and Saturday could his day.
