IND vs NZ: 3 Indian Players Whose T20I Career Can Come To An End After Poor Performance In T20 Series

3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the first Indian player on this list. The right-arm pacer is a regular pacer for the team in ODIs and T20Is. However, he gave a poor show in the IND vs NZ T20I series. He played two games and managed to pick just 1 wicket.

Although he bowled at a good economy of 6.71, he could only pick 1 wicket in 7 overs across 2 games. Bowlers like Deepak Hooda (4), Mohammed Siraj (6), and Arshdeep Singh (4) gave a better performance than the senior Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the series.

2. Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar is another Indian player whose T20I career might come to an end after a poor show in the IND vs NZ T20I series. Sundar, a bowling all-rounder, picked 1 wicket in the 2nd T20I match and also got out for a duck in the match. He had an expensive economy of 12.0.

The left-handed batsman was also dropped in the 2nd game. India has many spin all-rounders waiting to grab a spot in the national team. Hence, Washington Sundar’s T20I career might be affected after IND vs NZ T20I series.

1. Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is another Indian player on this list. While Pant has been quite successful in ODIs and Tests, his T20I performances are not up to the mark. The right-handed batter got out for 11 and 6 in the two T20I games against New Zealand.

The left-handed batsman also failed to come up with a better show in the previous ICC T20 World Cup 2022. After his back-to-back failures in the shortest format, selectors might pick a new wicketkeeper-batsman in the shortest format in the future.
