With a series sweep in sight, the middle order will be eager to give a
better account of themselves as the Indian team management contemplates
rotating its bowlers in the third and final ODI against New Zealand on
Tuesday. Opener Shubman Gill has been in excellent form, having scored a
sensational double hundred in the opener, followed by a 40-run knock in the
low-scoring second ODI. Skipper Rohit Sharma, too, is having a good run.
However, the home team is aware that despite enjoying an unassailable 2-0
lead in the series, Shubman and Rohit have been the only two batters among
runs for the hosts.At the same time, it is also a fact that the others
haven’t been tested and the dead rubber will be the perfect opportunity for
the likes Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav to get some
batting practice in match situations.
