Ishan Kishan is recovering well from the low-grade right adductor strain he sustained during the first T20I against New Zealand.
However, he is yet to regain match fitness and has been ruled out of the third T20I, scheduled to be played in Wellington on October 27, 2026. The BCCI medical team continues to monitor his recovery.
Kumar Kushagra will remain with the Indian squad for the third T20I.
