The Indian team is on a tour of New Zealand. In this tour, a series of 3-3 matches will be played between the two countries (NZ vs IND T20I ODI Series, 2022). The first 3 matches will be T20I series, with the first match on 18 November. Many senior players who took part in the World Cup have been rested in this series.
In this tour, the T20I series will be captained by Hardik Pandya Captain and Shikhar Dhawan Captain in ODI Series NZ vs IND. The tour has a list of young players, so who to pick in the playing 11 will be a big deal. Also, it will not be easy to decide which pair to field for the opening batting.
which is the opening batting pair
There are many great young batsmen in this tour like Shubman Gill, Ishaan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, but when it comes to opening, Ishan Kishan has opened many times in T20 cricket. In such a situation, if instead of number 3, Ishaan Kishan comes as an opener in this series, then it would be great. But, the decision on this will be taken by team captain Hardik Pandya and coach VVS Laxman.

However, India’s dangerous explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav has also opened in T20 matches. But, considering the importance and contribution of his batting at number 4, he will probably be dropped at that number.
Rishabh Pant can also be given a chance for the opening batting. Apart from him, Sanju Samson and Deepak Hooda are also excellent run-getters. There is no doubt that the captain of the team, Hardik Pandya knows the importance of the opening pair very well. In such a situation, it is obvious that in the opening pair, they will take out the combination of two batsmen who shield, anchor and bat fast. Similarly, the captain of the ODI series (NZ vs IND ODI Series, 2022) Shikhar Dhawan will also focus on the combination.
