IND vs NZ 2021: Aakash Chopra on India’s Playing XI For 1st T20I vs New Zealand, Reckons ‘Impossible to Select’

Ind vs NZ 1st T20I: As per Chopra, things could be a little unfair for a few players as he thinks they may be asked to play at a position they are not comfortable at.

Jaipur: A new look India would look to erase the memories of the T20 World Cup debacle when they take on a Kane Williamson-less New Zealand in the first T20I at Jaipur on Wednesday. It would be a fresh start as the Rahul Dravid-Rohit Sharma era begins. It would be interesting to see the playing XI India opt for as there could be fresh faces in the side by the looks of it. Ex-India cricketer Aakash Chopra reckoned it would be impossible to pick a XI because of the selection.

As per Chopra, things could be a little unfair for a few players as he thinks they may be asked to play at a position they are not comfortable at. Chopra’s tweet read: “Almost impossible to pick the India playing XI for tonight without being a little unfair on a few players either can’t play them or play them in positions that aren’t ideal for them. Such has been the selection.”
