“Who will keep wicket?” – Twitter reacts after Prithvi Shaw is likely to replace Ishan Kishan in the 3rd T20I against New Zealand

India’s young southpaw Ishan Kishan struggled to produce a spark in the second T20I against the New Zealand cricket team at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The youngster didn’t play the game with a lot of intent in the run-chase as India’s run-scoring rate took a big hit. It was indeed a tough wicket to bat for both teams, which turned out to be a low-scoring thriller.

Batting first, the Black Caps could only score 99 for the loss of 8 wickets in their quota of 20 overs. In response, India did struggle in the run-chase from the word go as the game was stretched to the final stages.

However, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya held their nerves and aced the run-chase as Team India beat New Zealand by six wickets and pulled off the ropes from the jaws of the defeat.

Meanwhile, in the latest development, Prithvi Shaw is likely to replace Ishan Kishan in the third and final T20I against the Black Caps, as reported by the Indian Express.

The fans expressed their frustration after the team management failed to pick Prithvi Shaw in the first two games of the T20I series as the young openers namely Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan failed to produce a spark in the first two games.

As per reports, Prithvi Shaw will be replacing Ishan Kishan in the final game on February 31, Wednesday at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Ishan Kishan came under fire for his terrible knock in the run-chase as he scored only 19 runs off 32 balls including 2 fours at a strike rate of 59.38.

Earlier, Team India won the ODI series under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma as the Men in Blue won the series by 3-0. Now, the fans are geared up for the T20I series decider tomorrow which will determine the winner of the T20I series.
