New Zealand vs India 2020: 4th T20I, Wellington – India’s Predicted Playing XI

New Zealand vs India 2020: 4th T20I, Wellington – India’s Predicted Playing XI; What an incredible victory it was for the Indian National Cricket Team on the other day in Hamilton. The heroic performances from Mohammed Shami and the vice-captain Rohit Sharma sealed the first-ever T20I series victory for India in New Zealand. Now, they will look to set the stage for a whitewash by winning the fourth game at Westpac Stadium.

With series already in kitty, now it’s time for the Indian team to bring changes to their playing XI. The likes of Navdeep Saini, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Sanju Samson are willing to prove themselves in the middle.

Meanwhile, we predicted playing XI of India for 4th T20I at Wellington. Have a look:

India’s Predicted Playing XI:

1. KL Rahul:

The flamboyant cricketer failed to repeat his magic with the bat in the third game. But he did fair enough to give a decent opening partnership for India and also scored a much-needed boundary in the super over before Rohit Sharma winning it for India.

Though he had a poor game behind the wicket, a stumping off Ravindra Jadeja’s over gave him confidence.

2. Rohit Sharma:

After having two quiet games, he had a sensational game in Hamilton on the other day. The right-handed batsman smashed it beautifully to help his side seal the series on Wednesday. Rohit would like to repeat the show in 4th T20I as well.

3. Virat Kohli:

The Indian skipper had a rare failure on Wednesday. He failed to give the perfect finish to the innings after Rohit and KL Rahul giving them a perfect stage.

However, Virat Kohli looked exceptional as a captain at a few situations of the game. He would like to repeat the similar stuff as a skipper in the 4th T20I as well.

4. Shreyas Iyer:

Shreyas Iyer was decent with the bat on Wednesday as well but failed to deliver the required boost to his innings in the death overs.

However, the flamboyant batsman wouldn’t look much into it as he already delivered a couple of good performances and would like to perform well in the remaining games to seal the man of the series award.

5. Manish Pandey:

Unfortunately, his performances are going unnoticed in this series. Whenever he got the opportunity, Manish Pandey delivered goods for India. He gave a perfect finish for India in the 3rd T20I, which helped India to put such a massive tally on the board.

Mostly, he might get an opportunity at number 3 in the upcoming game at Wellington.

6. Shivam Dube:

The all-rounder is wasting his opportunities with the bat regularly. The flamboyant batsman was allowed to bat at No.3 on Wednesday. But he failed to tackle the opposition bowling unit, for which, he received flak from the Indian fans and experts.

However, he would once again get the opportunity, as India looks him as a cover for Hardik Pandya.

7. Washington Sundar:

The youngster might get the nod ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal in the 4th game. He warmed the bench in all three games and would get the opportunity in a final couple of games. The talented off-spinner would like to make the most of the opportunity.

8. Ravindra Jadeja:

He had a stellar game in the 3rd T20I to make things fall in place for India. At a stage when the Indian fast bowlers are leaking runs, Jadeja bowled exceptionally to contain runs for the team.

Jadeja also picked the crucial wicket of Colin Munro and gave a perfect finish with the bat in the final overs.

9. Navdeep Saini:

Navdeep Saini might get the opportunity in the fourth game at Wellington. The flamboyant cricketer bowled with a lot of gas in India but didn’t get the opportunity to play in New Zealand.

With India sealing the series, Navdeep Saini will mark his guard at Wellington to showcase his talent.

10. Mohammed Shami:

The fast bowler proved his mettle in the final over when he was asked to defend 9 runs off 6 balls. Though he gave six off the first ball, Shami defended 3 runs off the last five balls to push the game into super over. He would like to repeat the stuff to confirm his place for the ICC T20I World Cup 2020.

11. Jasprit Bumrah:

One of the best bowlers in world cricket at the moment failed to deliver goods on the other day. It was a rare off day for him in his career so far. Jasprit Bumrah would like to prove his mettle in the upcoming game at Wellington.
