After an unfortunate end to their 20-20 World Cup 2022 campaign, India and New Zealand are all set to meet in a complete white-ball series. The T20I series is first in line, with the first match being played at Sky Stadium in Wellington on the 18th of November. Many Indian senior players have taken a rest for the series, giving young players another opportunity. In this listicle, we’ll look at India’s Probable playing XI for the first T20I.

Ishan Kishan has been out of the Indian team for some time, but he has repeatedly proven his worth. He would get a chance to open the innings and would look to do well. Shubman Gill has recently played ODI cricket for India and performed admirably. He will look to do well in the shortest format as well.
Shreyas Iyer may be given the nod ahead of Sanju Samson in the first match. However, his vulnerabilities are known to everyone, and he will have to work on that to stand a chance to maintain his position in the Indian team.
