11:40 hrs IST: Recently, India's batting coach Vikram Rathour spoke about the new generation of Indian cricketers. Calling them 'incredible', he said, "Adjustments will keep going on till the last minute. But as far as I am concerned and the team management is concerned, we have the core. We know what our team is going to be. Unless there is a case of injury or really bad loss in form, I don’t see many changes happening."

11:18 hrs IST: Good morning everyone and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the 3rd T20I between New Zealand Vs India. 0-2 up, can the visitors wrap up the series for the first time in NZ soil, or do the 2019 Cricket World Cup runners-up have a few tricks up their sleeves?

The visitors won the first two T20Is in Auckland by six and seven wickets respectively. A third successive win will give India their first T20I series' win on New Zealand soil, something they have been unable to do so on two occasions.

Under MS Dhoni, India lost 0-2 in 2008-09, and last year, they lost 1-2.

In Seddon Park, Ravi Shastri and his staff are expected to go with the same starting XI, although Navdeep Saini could feature.

Rohit Sharma will be aiming to give India a good start, while KL Rahul, Virat Kohli will be hoping to build on their fine form. Meanwhile, the middle order is expected to be the same, with Shreyas Iyer, particularly in good form.

It has been reported that Washington Sundar was paid close attention too, during the training session. He could replace Yuzvendra Chahal, although Chahal provides greater control and his wrist spin works well against New Zealand batsman. The team could also introduce Kuldeep Yadav and partner him with Chahal.

New Zealand have a huge task in hand. The likes of Colin de Grandhomme have a final chance to make an impression after having failed lately. Grandhomme has only scored 0 and 3 in the first two games. Meanwhile, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are expected to lead the team. Mitchell Santner and Tim Southee will lead the bowling department.

Teams (from):

India: Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul (wk), Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar.

New Zealand: Kane Williamson (capt), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Scott Kuggeleijn, Colin Munro, Colin de Grandhomme, Tom Bruce, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Seifert (wk), Hamish Bennett, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Blair Tickner.
