India vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: All eyes on Virat – Rohit as IND aim to avoid whitewash at Wankhede

Updated: 01-11-2024, 01.47 AM

India vs New Zealand Live Score: Rohit Sharma led team India will be aiming to avoid a whitewash at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai as they take on New Zealand during the 3rd final match of the series. Notably, the Kiwis had broken India’s 4331 days dominant run by winning the series with victories in Pune and Bengaluru. 

After a flurry of changes in the playing XI following the loss in Bengaluru, it would be interesting to see if Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma make another set of changes for the final Test or trust the same XI that played in Pune to get them the results. New Zealand, on the other hand, will once again be without the services of Kane Williamson, who has now been ruled out of the last match of this series.

Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma who have not played up to their name for a while now. Both Virat and Rohit have an average of under 40 in Test match cricket since 2020. 

Squads: 

India Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.

New Zealand Squad: Tom Latham (C), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (WK), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, William O’Rourke, Kane Williamson, Ish Sodhi, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry
