Arshdeep Singh Returns to India XI, Takes Early Wicket in Third ODI vs New Zealand

Arshdeep Singh returned to India's playing XI for the third ODI against New Zealand, replacing Prasidh Krishna. He made an immediate impact by dismissing opener Henry Nicholls for a golden duck in the first over at Indore. His exclusion from the first two matches sparked debate and criticism, including from fans and former players who questioned the selection decisions led by coach Gautam Gambhir. Arshdeep's performance highlighted his value as a left-arm pacer in the series-deciding game.
