After the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, India and New Zealand are all set to face each other in the T20 series starting 17th November. The first match will be played in Jaipur, and the young guns like Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan will be looking to score big after the embarrassing knockout from the World cup due to poor performances.
The opening match of the series will be a new fresh start for Indian Cricket in the shortest format as the New appointed T20 captain Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, alongside new Head Coach Rahul Dravid.

Indian veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh predicted his winners in the three-match series. Also, he named two players he is looking forward to performing in this India-New Zealand series and can be potential winners for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia in October 2022.
āI wish Team India all the best and I hope they win. India winning the series 2-1 is what I am predicting,āĀ Harbhajan said on Star Sports.
India had a disappointing run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, where they lost their first two crucial games against Pakistan and New Zealand by large margins. Many big names like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been given rest for this series, and names likeĀ Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan, and Harshal Patel ā who are looking for their potential debuts.

Besides, these names there’s a huge opportunity ahead of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav to fix their names in the T20 playing XI for India keeping the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup in mind.
āI want to see some of the new players in a different role. Like Ishan Kishan, I want to see him play regularly. He has a lot of potentials. He will be a key player for the next T20 World Cup. He will have the responsibility of batting at No. 3 so I feel he should be given as many chances as possible,āĀ Harbhajan said on Star Sports.
