Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in as India choose to chase in Christchurch

Prince Yadav came in for Mayank Yadav, and New Zealand brought in Jacob Duffy for Adam Milne

Teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been added to India's squad for the upcoming second Twenty20 international against New Zealand, scheduled for Saturday. The 15-year-old will replace Ishan Kishan, who is sidelined due to a groin injury. In the batting lineup, India plans to open with Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, unless they choose to maintain an all-left-handed opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma.

The only other modification in the Indian team is the substitution of Prince Yadav for Mayank Yadav in the bowling lineup.

On the other hand, New Zealand has brought in a change in their bowling attack, replacing Adam Milne with Jacob Duffy. The match will be played at Hagley Oval, the same venue where the first T20 match of the series took place. Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bowl, mirroring their decision from the first match of the series, which they won by four wickets with two balls remaining.

This thrilling encounter saw a total of 455 runs scored, establishing a new record for India's highest successful run chase in T20 internationals.
