Suryakumar Yadav has won the toss and opted to chase once again in the IND vs NZ 3rd T20I in Guwahati on Sunday. The Men in Blue opted for two changes, resting Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy both part of India's T20 World Cup squad. Suryakumar Yadav and Co aim to seal the series with two games to spare after dominant performances.

Jasprit Bumrah is back in the mix after missing the last game. India are opting to rest and rotate their pack given the mounting injury concerns in their squad. In Varun Chakravarthy's absence, Ravi Bishnoi pairs Kuldeep Yadav in the spin bowling department. Axar Patel remains out of action, having injured his finger in the first T20I.

"We'll look to bowl first. Wicket looks good, there'll be dew later on. Be fearless, take your own call, enjoy and be humble at the same time. Two changes. Arshdeep and Varun resting tonight, Bumrah and Bishnoi come in," Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss.

India Playing XI: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

New Zealand Playing XI: Devon Conway, Tim Seifert(w), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner(c), Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy
