This cricketer should get a chance in the third ODI

If India wants to defeat New Zealand in the third ODI International match in Indore on Sunday, January 18th, and win the series, they will have to give a chance to fast bowler Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep Singh can be given a chance in place of Prasidh Krishna. If the left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh gets a chance in the Indian team's playing XI, he can wreak havoc with his dangerous fast bowling in the last ODI match against New Zealand.

How has Prasidh Krishna performed?

Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is also skilled at bowling dangerous yorkers.

Arshdeep Singh's Records
