Highlights of India vs New Zealand for the Christchurch Test

After a huge 10-wicket defeat in the opening encounter in Wellington and with the series at stake, India could tinker with their playing eleven for the Christchurch Test.

Young opener Prithvi Shaw missed Thursday's training session due to a swelling on his left foot, increasing Indian team management's worries ahead of the second Test against New Zealand beginning on Saturday.

According to sources, Shaw will undergo a blood test on Thursday to ascertain the reason of the swelling.If Shaw



doesn’t recover from the pain in his left leg, Shubman Gill will automatically replace him. But if he is deemed fit enough, Shaw will have a slender advantage over Gill. 

“We need to give him that time to get used to the conditions a little bit and once he starts scoring, he will feel more confident about it. I don’t think, at this stage, he needs to be sat down and be explained what’s going wrong because I don’t see anything wrong,” Kohli had said in the post-match press interaction in Wellington.
