Two standout performers in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, Ishan Kishan and Devdutt Padikkal, are reportedly making strong cases for selection in the Indian national team's upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. Kishan, a left-handed batsman, has shown resurgence with a rapid century, while Padikkal is currently the tournament's leading run-scorer. Both players aim for potential call-ups to the national squad based on their recent domestic performances.
