Aakash Chopra suggests two changes for India's second T20I
Aakash Chopra called for India to add a spinner and bring in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for the second T20I against New Zealand.
Aakash Chopra recommended India include a spinner and replace Ishan Kishan with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for the second T20I against New Zealand. Chopra said the team appeared choked by the absence of a frontline spinner in the first match. He argued that the surface at Hagley Oval offered turn that India failed to exploit. The former India opener also called for a tactical change in the bowling attack to control the middle overs more effectively. India won the series opener by four wickets after chasing down 226.

Chopra's suggestion highlights how India's spin resources remain underutilised even on surfaces that offer grip in the middle overs.
