India Expected to Include Mohammed Siraj in Playing XI for 2nd ODI vs New Zealand

India Expected to Include Mohammed Siraj in Playing XI for 2nd ODI vs New ZealandPreviousNext

India is likely to make minimal changes to their playing XI for the second ODI against New Zealand in Wellington, following a five-wicket win in the series opener. The main potential change is the return of experienced pacer Mohammed Siraj, who may replace Auqib Nabi, who has yet to take a wicket in his two ODIs. The batting lineup, including Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma, is expected to remain unchanged. The pitch is anticipated to favor fast bowlers, making the pace attack crucial.
