India Tour of New Zealand 2019: India's predicted playing XI for the 2nd T20I

Bowlers

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

New Zealand v India - International T20 Game 1

Bhuvneshwar Kumar would like to forget his performance in the first T20I as he gave 47 runs with just 1 dismissal to his name. He should look to come back to his proper rhythm and stifle the batsmen with his swingers as he will most likely retain his place in the XI.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal's leg-spin could prove to be the difference between the two sides.

Yuzvendra Chahal was India's most economical bowler in the first T20I as he scalped a solitary wicket and gave away 35 runs at an economy rate of 8.75. He will look to put the best use of the spinner friendly pitch at Auckland and turn the momentum in India's favor.

Kuldeep Yadav

Chahal's partner in crime could be back

Another change that India might make for the 2nd T20I is bringing in Kuldeep Yadav at the expense of Khaleel Ahmed. Kuldeep Yadav could prove to be an economical bowler and reduce the momentum of the opposition while bowling in tandem with Chahal.
