Iyer, who has had a lot of success in white-ball cricket as a middle-order batsman, will bat at No. 4 or 5 in this Test match against New Zealand. In First Class cricket, the 26-year-old has an amazing average of 52 and 12 hundreds.

Virat Kohli, India’s usual Test captain, is absent, although he will return for the following Test. Rohit Sharma is also not in the Test squad, while an injury to KL Rahul meant India had to abandon their plans to play Shubman Gill in the middle order. Mayank Agarwal, who is making a comeback at the top of the order, will start the batting for Gill.

Meanwhile, India’s stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and chose to bat first. In the absence of older players, Rahane believes this is a fantastic opportunity for the youth to show their worth.

“(The Kanpur pitch) Slows down here in general. It’s a chance for all of us to succeed both here and in Mumbai. A few of the senior members have gone missing.

India has sent three spinners and two seamers to the match. India has the advantage of batting deep with Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel as their three spinners.

Team India decided not to include Mohammed Siraj in the playing XI. therefore Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma are the two specialist seamers.
