India vs New Zealand: Decisive ODI in Indore; Kuldeep Yadav Under Scrutiny
- •India faces New Zealand in the third and final ODI in Indore, with the series tied 1-1.
- •Indian spin bowlers, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, struggled in the previous matches, failing to contain runs or take wickets.
- •New Zealand batsmen, especially Daryl Mitchell, effectively countered Kuldeep's spin by sweeping and using their feet.
- •Indore's Holkar Stadium, known for short boundaries and a batting-friendly pitch, demands disciplined bowling.
- •Team India might consider changes in bowling strategy, possibly including Arshdeep Singh or an off-spinner like Ayush Badoni, and relying on Mohammed Siraj to lead the pace attack.
Why It Matters: India must improve spin bowling and overall discipline to win the series decider against New Zealand in Indore.
