Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the second T20I against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch due to a low-grade injury.

The BCCI medical team is monitoring Kishan’s recovery and discussing potential replacements.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, described as a promising teenager, could make his return to the playing XI; India lead the series 1-0 after a record-breaking chase in the first T20I.
