After two
back-to-back victories against mighty opponents like South Africa and
Australia, Virat Kohli-led team India will face New Zealand on Thursday in their
third match of the World Cup 2019.
In
unfortunate turn of events, Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan had injured
his left thumb during his match-winning knock of 117 runs against Australia.
The left-handed
batsman will remain out of action for at least three weeks.
It is
expected that right-handed batsman KL Rahul will take the opening slot with
Rohit Sharma for India's third game. In the absence of in-form Dhawan, all eyes
will be on the Rohit-Rahul duo.
India
probable playing 11: Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Mahendra Singh
Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar
Kumar, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja.
