Ind vs New Zealand Live Updates: Jaffer tells team India to play Shaw

Former Indian Test opener Wasim Jaffer feels India need an extra batter in the 2nd T20I and they should look to play Shaw and drop a pacer. 

Read why he says that below: 

For the must win game tonight, as India already have enough bowling options I think they can afford to drop a pacer and play an extra batter. Maybe Shaw could open with Gill and Kishan could bat at 3. Or Jitesh could play in the middle order. #INDvNZ

IND vs NZ 2nd T20 Live Updates: Arshdeep Singh is under pressure

Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh will be under extreme pressure to deliver the goods in the 2nd T20I vs New Zealand at Lucknow as a loss for India will take the series away. Arshdeep went for 27 runs in final over of the innings where he bowled a front-foot no-ball again. The no-ball has been a big problem for him and it is about time that he comes up with a solution to it and fixes his run-up to bowl the ball. 

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Live Score: All eyes on SKY and Hardik

India are 0-1 down in the 3-match T20I series and the senior players Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav will need to step up. SKY has been in good form, he was unlucky to get out after getting a good start. But Hardik, the captain as well as batter, need to show good form. He could be seen getting worried as Arshdeep bowled an expensive over and as captain, that did not look very nice. Hardik must back his players and rise as batter too. 

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 LIVE: Sundar doing beautiful things on field

He picked up 2 for just 22 from his four overs and then smashed 50 off just 28 balls that included 5 fours and 3 sixes to keep India in game. Washington Sundar is showing maturity with both bat and ball and can soon become irreplaceable in the T20Is at least. He needs to continue showing the same hunger.

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 LIVE: India missing Kohli and Rohit?

After the ICC T20 World Cup last year, Hardik Pandya has been the Team India captain in the format. He has led the team to wins in New Zealand, and against Sri Lanka at home. But India have not dominated these series by any stretch of imagination. At times, especially in chases, one has felt the absence of experience and maybe Rohit and Kohli would have made things far easier. Kohli especially is a solid middle order bat and helps team in chases. But selectors seemed to have moved past them and are looking to build a younger squad for the next World Cup and these youngsters will take time to get used to new roles. 

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I: Shaw to replace Gill?

Shubman Gill scored just 7 in the first T20I as he continues to perform poorly in the shortest format of the game despite his brilliant run in ODIs. T20s are hard to crack for Gill it seems. Will Shaw take his place in tonight's match? Head coach Rahul Dravid is a big Shaw fan but Hardik Pandya has said that Gill is team's first-choice opener in T20Is.
