IND vs NZ: The Indian cricket team is currently playing the ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour, which is being captained by Rohit Sharma. However, despite playing two matches, Team India has not won a single match and is on the verge of losing the series. In such a situation, after returning from the Sri Lanka tour, Team India captain Rohit Sharma will select a completely different and new team for the Test series (IND vs NZ) against New Zealand.

After not being able to win the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma would not want to take any laxity against a strong team like New Zealand. In such a situation, the chief selector Ajit Agarkar can make a big change in Team India's squad. Captain Rohit Sharma can give a chance to four wicketkeeper batsmen in the Test series. In this list, Dhruv Jurel, KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan can get a chance along with Team India's Gabba hero Rishabh Pant.

8 all-rounders can get a chance in Team India

Captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir can give chance to many all-rounders in the Indian cricket team. The Kiwi team is considered very strong and does very well in Test cricket. Team India had to face defeat in the 2021 ICC World Test Championship against New Zealand under the captaincy of Kane Williamson. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma can give chance to 8 all-rounders in the team. In this list, apart from four wicketkeepers Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya can get a place in the team. They have become full-time all-rounders. The team has players like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, who can also bowl. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah has been seen trying his hand in batting apart from bowling. In such a situation, Team India has many options.
