News India Live, Digital Desk: The line between “rest” and “drop” is a very thin one in Indian cricket. The ODI series against New Zealand is round the corner, and if reports are to be believed, the management of Team India is in a mood to make some major changes in the wicketkeeping department.

Will doors open for Ishaan and Sanju also?
Due to the absence of Pant and Jurel, one more place can be created in the squad. In such a situation, fans are hoping that Ishaan Kishan Or sanju samson Will he also get a chance as a backup? It will be quite interesting to see.
