Ishan Kishan Misses Third T20I Against New Zealand Due to Injury
Ishan Kishan is ruled out of the third T20I against New Zealand as he recovers from injury.
India’s wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan will miss the third T20I against New Zealand after sustaining a low-grade right adductor strain in the first match of the series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced his exclusion on Monday.
Kishan did not participate in the second T20I due to the same injury, and his absence will continue for the upcoming game scheduled for October 27, 2026, in Wellington. The BCCI stated he is recovering well but has not yet regained match fitness. The medical team is actively monitoring his condition.
Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra, drafted into the squad ahead of the second match, will remain with the team. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi filled in for Kishan during the second T20I, where India secured a thrilling four-wicket victory, putting them ahead in the five-match series with a 2-0 lead.
