India tour of New Zealand 2022

Suryakumar Yadav, with his blazing 111 against New Zealand in the second T20I on Sunday (November 20), proved his batting prowess yet again and showed why he is the Numero Uno in the shortest format of the game. But surprisingly New Zealand's veteran pacer, who snared a sensational hat-trick in the same match, said that Suryakumar will have to prove himself consistently to become India's best in the T20Is.

Hardik Pandya-led young Team India will look to get off to a winning start in the second T20I against New Zealand on Sunday after the rain played damp squib in the the series opener.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar faces an arduous challenge of remaining relevant in shortest format as a young Indian team, seeking some game time, is expected to face tough resistance from New Zealand. After the rain-hindered first match, Indian players must be itching to get onto the park which, inarguably, has the most scenic backdrop.
