India vs New Zealand 4th T20I | All You Need To Know
All eyes will be on India's team combination when they face New Zealand for the fourth T20I match at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, January 28. Having already sealed the five-match series with a 3-0 lead, India are expected to introduce some changes in order to give the other a bit of game time.
India have completely thrashed the Blackcaps and have picked up an incredible momentum ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026. With an aim to give their key players proper rest, the Men in Blue could sit senior players like Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. It will be interesting to see whether the vice-captain Axar Patel makes his return to the side after missing the last two games. Axar, who suffered a finger injury during the first game of the series, was seen having a long batting and bowling stint in the nets on the eve of the match.
