Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of Second T20I; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Likely Replacement
India's wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the second T20I against New Zealand due to a low-grade right adductor (groin) strain sustained during the first match. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed Kishan's injury and indicated that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the leading candidate to replace him in the playing XI. Kishan's injury led to a batting order change in the opener, and his participation in upcoming matches will depend on medical advice and fitness assessments.
