Samson OUT, 3 Players IN! India's Likely XI for 4th T20I vs New Zealand

  • Sanju Samson's poor form, including a golden duck in the 3rd T20I, likely costs him a spot in India's playing XI.
  • Ishan Kishan is expected to replace Samson as wicketkeeper-opener, potentially alongside Abhishek Sharma.
  • Tilak Varma is unavailable, keeping Shreyas Iyer in contention for a spot in the squad.
  • Axar Patel, recovering from a finger injury, is highly probable to return for the 4th T20I.
  • Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy are likely to return, with Ravi Bishnoi possibly retaining his place over Kuldeep Yadav.

Why It Matters: India set for significant changes in 4th T20I against New Zealand, with Samson out and key players returning.
