Team India’s strongest predicted playing XI for T20I series against New Zealand

6. Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer was one of the top performers in the IPL 2021. The southpaw piled up 370 runs in the last season for Kolkata Knight Riders. Rightly so, he earned a national call-up. Besides his impressive batting display, he serves as a medium pacer.

Fans from across quarters heaped praise on Iyer for his batting performance in the IPL. Also, Hardik Pandya is out of the setup and this is the right chance for Iyer to showcase his mettle and cement his spot.
