Jadeja OUT, Badoni & Arshdeep IN? India's Likely XI for 3rd ODI vs New Zealand

  • Ravindra Jadeja might be dropped from India's playing XI for the 3rd ODI against New Zealand due to poor performance.
  • Ayush Badoni, a batting all-rounder, is a strong contender to replace Jadeja, offering a sixth bowling option.
  • Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh could also feature, potentially replacing Prasidh Krishna, who struggled with economy.
  • The batting unit, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul, is expected to remain unchanged.
  • Nitish Kumar Reddy and Kuldeep Yadav are likely to retain their spots despite recent performances.

Why It Matters: India eyes changes in bowling attack for the decisive 3rd ODI, with Jadeja likely out and new faces in.
