Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of Third T20I Against New Zealand Due to Injury

Analysed 26 Oct 2026·19 sources analysed·Wellington, New Zealand·Sports
Ishan Kishan Ruled Out of Third T20I Against New Zealand Due to InjuryPreviousNext

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.
