3rd ODI: Arshdeep Comes In As India Elect To Bowl First Against NZ In Series Decider
Nitish Kumar Reddy: India have brought in left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh as skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first against New Zealand in the series decider at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday.
The three-game series is locked at 1-1 and the decider promises a high-stakes contest between India and New Zealand. After winning the toss, Gill said Arshdeep comes back into the playing eleven in place of right-arm pacer Prasidh Krishna.
“That's what we spoke (on the decision to bowl). Last time, batting first, New Zealand put us under pressure. One of the decisions behind we're bowling first is that the surface looks good, don't expect a lot of dew, and runs on the board would let us chase better. Need to vary our lengths in the middle-overs, and that's what we want to do,” said Gill.
