IND vs NZ 3rd Test: India’s struggle against New Zealand continues: The Test series against New Zealand is a tough journey for India, whose recent performances have been better than expected. Especially after successive defeats in Bengaluru and Pune, the team’s confidence under Rohit Sharma’s leadership has waned. Now that New Zealand has won the series 2-0, the chances of India winning are slim.
India, preparing for the final against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1-5, will be looking to retain some respect before heading to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In this prestigious series, India and Australia teams will face each other in five Test matches from November 22.

Given the current situation, there is a possibility of a change in the playing eleven. With Jasprit Bumrah unavailable, India may opt for a fast bowling attack with Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep.
Rishabh Pant, who suffered a knee injury during the first Test match, played despite the pain in the second match. However, he is likely to be ruled out of the third Test, paving the way for a debut for Drew Jurrell.
Let’s take a look at India’s possible XI for the upcoming match:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yassavi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant/Drew Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj.
As the team prepares for this crucial encounter, fans are eager to see if these changes can help India end the series on a good note.
