- 1📊 India drops Prasidh for Arshdeep in decider
- 2🏆 Series level 1-1, Indore high-scoring venue
- 3💡 Gill ignores dew, eyes batting second
- 4🔮 Arshdeep's debut could seal India victory
"India have left out Prasidh Krishna to accommodate Arshdeep Singh, while New Zealand have fielded an unchanged playing XI"
Shubman Gill's India have made a bold call at the toss in the decisive third ODI against New Zealand in Indore, opting to bowl first with Arshdeep Singh earning his series debut. Dropping Prasidh Krishna, the Men in Blue aim to chase under lights at this high-scoring venue, brushing aside dew concerns.
Arshdeep's Fresh Edge
Arshdeep Singh slots in as India's pace spearhead, bringing swing and death-over nous to break New Zealand's rhythm early. Shubman Gill backed the hunch, citing recent Indore wins batting first but prioritizing a target in this series clincher. New Zealand stick with an unchanged XI, banking on their batting depth to pile up runs on a flat track.
Indore's reputation for massive totals adds spice – think India's past ODI feasts here. With the series locked 1-1, Gill's leadership faces its first big test as captain, while Arshdeep hunts early breakthroughs to tilt momentum. Fans gear up for a thriller under the lights.
"Better to have a target in sight here." — Shubman Gill
All eyes on whether India's bowling attack can restrict New Zealand and set up a chase for glory.
