Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the third T20I against New Zealand as he continues to recover from a low-grade right adductor strain and remains short of match fitness. India lead the five-match series 2-0, with Kumar Kushagra staying with the squad and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in contention for another opportunity.
Sanju Samson equaled Ishan Kishan for a huge feat during the opening T20I against New Zealand, where he struck an explosive 67 off just 33 deliveries, laced with eight boundaries and four sixes.
