New Delhi. The ICC ODI World Cup has been very good for the Indian cricket team so far. After winning four matches in a row, Team India is ready to enter the 5th match. India will have to face a New Zealand team, which also has four wins out of four. Before this match, Team India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya is out due to injury. The big question is whether skipper Rohit Sharma will give the bowler a chance in his place or the batsman will be in a playing even position.
The Indian team will face New Zealand to continue its winning campaign in the ICC ODI World Cup. Before this match, all-rounder Hardik Pandya was injured while playing against Bangladesh. He will not be able to play in the match against New Zealand and who will be given a chance to replace him in the playing eleven is a big question. The question is whether captain Rohit Sharma will want to replace his star player with a batsman or will go in favor of a bowler.
Batsman or bowler who will replace Hardik?
If captain Rohit Sharma wants to strengthen the bowling, he will opt for Mohammad Shami or R Ashwin to replace the injured Hardik Pandya. Shami’s arrival will increase the fast bowling options while Ashwin will strengthen the spin bowling. If the captain wants to strengthen the batting, there are two options available here as well. Either Ishan Kishan or Suryakumar Yadav may be given a chance.
Question on Vijay Rath of India and New Zealand
The Indian team has so far defeated Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh in the World Cup. Talking about New Zealand’s journey in this World Cup, so far they have defeated teams from England, Netherlands, Bangladesh and then Afghanistan. He will play his fifth match against India.
