IND vs NZ: 5 Senior Indian Players Who Might Miss The T20I Series. India and New Zealand are gearing up for a competitive T20 international series right after the T20 World cup 2021 ends and some of the senior players are expected to be rested. The series starts on the 17th of November three days after the final of the T20 World cup 2021 and the three-match T20 series will be followed by a two-match test series as well.

The workload of the senior players in the side has been immense with first the England tour, and then the IPL 2021 UAE phase, and the T20 World cup 2021 at last. The bio bubble fatigue is one of the worrying factors and here are 5 senior Indian players who might miss the T20I series against New Zealand.

IND vs NZ: 5 Senior Indian Players Who Might Miss The T20I Series

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli has been leading the Indian side in the test series in England and continued his leadership in IPL 2021 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He also has been leading the Indian side in the T20 World cup 2021 and he will definitely need some rest ahead of the South Africa tour at the end of the year.

Kohli has had issues in the past with his stiff back and India has a lot of superstars who could be given chances at the highest level. Virat Kohli is an important batsman for India in all formats and his workload should be managed at priority.

Rohit Sharma:

Rohit Sharma will be another name that needs a little bit of rest ahead of the tight schedule India has in the upcoming year. The limited-overs vice-captain of India is likely to take over the leadership roles in T20 internationals after Virat Kohli has decided to step down from captaincy in T20Is.

However, India will be looking to rest him for the T20 internationals against New Zealand considering the workload he has had from the England tour to the T20 World cup 2021 he has been playing.

Ravindra Jadeja:

Ravindra Jadeja has been playing all the formats for India since the World Test Championship started and his workload has been immensely coming into the New Zealand series. It is very important he is given enough rest ahead of the South Africa tour at the end of the year.

With Axar Patel and Krunal Pandya capable of doing the same job for India, Jadeja could be rested for the T20 internationals against New Zealand.

Mohammad Shami:

Mohammad Shami has been contributing to the nation in all the formats at present, and him being a fast bowler will definitely need rest in the upcoming series against New Zealand. The right-arm seamer is one of the vital cogs in the bowling lineup for the Virat Kohli-led side.

Shami is currently part of the Indian squad for the T20 World cup 2021 and with a lot of bowlers coming along nicely in the wings, it will be wiser to rest Shami for the T20 internationals against New Zealand.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Jasprit Bumrah is India’s biggest match-winner after Virat Kohli and he is among the top bowlers in the world across all formats. The right arm seamer has been been a stalwart in the bowling attack with his yorkers and his ability to outsmart the batsman.

Bumrah is one of the biggest assets for the country and he needs to be taken care of with a lot more care. He will definitely need rest before the tour to South Africa and is likely to miss out on the New Zealand series.
