Indian side went with two left handers for the opening slot as Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan. Rishabh Pant failed to score big in the 2nd T20I of this series as he played a innings of 7 in 3 deliveries and looked rusty throughout. It was expected that Sanju Samson will get a chance in this match but Rishabh Pant was given another chance.

Another thing that made furious netizens was the exclusion of Umran Malik. Umran Malik did'nt feature in first 2 games and fans expected him to be part of playing XI in this match but skipper Hardik Pandya made just one change as he brought in Harshalo Patel for Washington Sundar in this game. Check out how netizens reacted.

Send #UmranMalik to give water to all the boys.
Only work he can do today, hope this way our bowlers can perform better.

If you don't wanna play him for India, let him play for other leagues like BBL. Offer him retirement.
Don't ruin his life. We wish to see him play more cricket, not your favourites like Pant or Ishan,Hooda.#INDvsNZ#SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/nQB3g8gS58
