Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of Third T20I Against New Zealand Due to Injury
India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the third T20I against New Zealand due to a low-grade right adductor strain sustained in the series opener. Although he is recovering well, Kishan has not yet regained full match fitness, leading to his precautionary exclusion. Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra remains with the squad as cover, while teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has continued to get opportunities in Kishan's absence. India leads the five-match series 2-0.
