Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of 2nd T20I; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to Replace Him
India's wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the second T20I against New Zealand due to a low-grade right adductor strain sustained in the series opener. The BCCI has added Kumar Kushagra as cover, while 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is expected to replace Kishan in the playing XI, batting at No. 3. India retained their opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma and opted to field first in the match at Hagley Oval. Kishan's recovery will be monitored for future matches.
