New Zealand vs India: 3 batters to watch in 3rd T20I
The third T20I of the five-match series takes place at Hnry Stadium, Wellington on October 27, 2026, with several batters in strong touch heading into the contest.
3. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, who took over as India's T20I captain on June 6, 2026, replacing Suryakumar Yadav, has scored 49 runs across two matches in this series. His contribution in the 1st T20I was particularly significant where he played a crucial innings that helped India complete the highest-ever T20I run chase in the country's history.
Iyer also carries strong recent form from outside this series. On October 6, 2026, he struck an unbeaten 102 against the West Indies in Lucknow, which was his maiden T20I century. As captain and a key middle-order batter, Iyer will be central to India's batting plans in the 3rd T20I at Wellington.
