Huge news coming from the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad as Team India have won the toss and have opted to bat first against New Zealand in the all important series decider against the Kiwis.
Meanwhile, the Indian team have once again excluded the service of the explosive right-hand batsman Prithvi Shaw for the match. Fans had been demanding for Shaw to be included in the Playing XI, but the team management have once again not shown faith in him.
Feel for Prithvi Shaw – got selected after a long for the 3 match T20i series, but unfortunately couldn't get a chance in any of the matches.

It feels like Prithvi Shaw was selected just to silence the growing demand to have him in the side after the Ranji triple hundred..next T20 series is around 6 months away and team might opt for other options based on IPL form.

I don’t think #ShubmanGill is a good opener in T20Is and #PrithviShaw is in very good touch. They should have given him a chance today.
