India vs New Zealand 4th T20I: Predicted Playing 11 and Squad Details

As India and New Zealand gear up for the fourth T20I clash, all eyes are on the predicted playing 11 and squad details for the crucial match.

After securing the series with three consecutive wins, India is contemplating some changes in their lineup. With Sanju Samson's struggle at the top of the order, all-rounder Axar Patel's return to the XI seems imminent. Patel, who recovered from a hand injury, might replace Hardik Pandya, who could be rested. Varun Chakaravarthy and Arshdeep Singh could also make a comeback into the side. There's a possibility of resting Jasprit Bumrah as well, with Harshit Rana waiting for his opportunity.

On the other hand, New Zealand faces multiple challenges, especially with their batting and bowling lineup underperforming. They are looking to reshuffle their order, with Daryl Mitchell likely to move up the order to provide stability. Rachin Ravindra might make way for Mitchell at No. 3, while Mark Chapman or Gle Phillips could slot in at No. 5 and 6. The Kiwis are considering changes in their bowling department, with players like Jacob Duffy or Kyle Jamieson being potential inclusions.

India: Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel (vice-capt), Rinku Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ishan Kishan, Ravi Bishnoi.
