New Delhi: Team India, days after end of their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign, now gear up for upcoming six-match white-ball series against mighty New Zealand from November 18. The Men in Blue are slated to lock horns with New Zealand in a three match T20 International series and as many ODIs.
Meanwhile, star India batter Suryakumar Yadav took to Twitter to let his followers know about his arrival in Wellington -- the venue where the T20 series tournament opener will be played between India and New Zealand. Yadav's 'short and sweet' tweet got a hilarious reply from Australia spinner Amanda Wellington. "Hello Yadav", Amanda wrote in her reply.
Suryakumar Yadav has established himself as a permanent member in India's T20 squad, courtesy of his remarkable batting form in the T20 World Cup. Yadav scored a whopping 239 runs at a strike rate of 189.68 in just six World Cup games. All three IND vs NZ T20Is will be played in Wellington, Mount Maunganui and Napier, respectively.
