India vs New Zealand 2024/25, IND vs NZ 3rd Test Match Report, November 01 – 05, 2024

Throw it New Zealand he chose to hit vs India

New Zealand won their second toss of the series and decided to bat first as they pushed for the first ever match against India in India. It was an important toss to win as well because the batting at the end was not expected to be exciting. However, Dinesh Karthik, who inspected the field, said that there is more moisture, which is expected to turn quickly, and some will settle down and turn more after that.

New Zealand has made two changes, both related to fitness. Mitchell Santner, who bowled New Zealand to victory over a painful team in Pune, is out with a side strain, making way for leg-spinner Ish Sodhi. Matt Henry recovered from a Grade 1 tear to take his place in the playing XI, replacing Tim Southee.

Santner had a tough time on the last day of the Pune Test, where he played a leading role. He was dropped from Mumbai after failing a fitness test on the eve of the match.

India, fighting for pride and important points in the World Test Championship, made one change: the unwell Jasprit Bumrah made way for Mohammed Siraj. A BCCI statement said Bumrah “has not fully recovered from his viral illness”.

KL Rahul continued to sit out despite failing to hit spin in Pune.

New Zealand 1 Tom Latham (in charge), 2 Devon Conway, 3 Will Young, 4 Rachin Ravindra, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Tom Blundell (wk), 7 Glenn Phillips, 8 Ish Sodhi, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Ajaz Patel, 11 Will O’ Rourke
