Aakash Chopra suggests two changes for India's second T20I

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.
