Captain Gill's Shock Tactics: Jadeja Dropped, Two Changes for India in Third ODI vs NZ
- •India faces New Zealand in the third ODI on Sunday, January 18, at Indore's Holkar Stadium.
- •Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be dropped due to poor form, having taken only one wicket in his last five ODIs and performing poorly with the bat.
- •Ayush Badoni, an all-rounder, is expected to debut, replacing Jadeja, and could provide a sixth bowling option.
- •Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh might replace Prasidh Krishna, who struggled in previous matches.
- •Key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj retain their spots.
Why It Matters: India makes two significant changes, dropping Jadeja and potentially Prasidh, to secure the series win.
