India faces a crucial second T20 International against New Zealand in Christchurch, aiming to extend their series lead. However, the team's potential lineup is under scrutiny, particularly with the potential absence of Ishan Kishan due to injury.
The selection committee is weighing options for Kishan's replacement, with a notable consideration being the debut of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Alternatively, spinner Varun Chakravarthy could be brought into the playing XI. This decision will be pivotal in shaping India's strategy for the remainder of the T20I series.
