India have gone in with all three wicketkeeping options available to them in the first T20I against New Zealand at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. MS Dhoni returns for India having missed the T20I series against West Indies and Australia and will don the gloves in the shortest format against New Zealand. Keeping an eye at the future, India have included both Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant with the latter coming in having missed the ODIs. AdvertisingAlso coming into the setup is Krunal Pandya who will take the field alongside brother Hardik Pandya for the first time in a limited over contest. On the other end, New Zealand handed debut to Daryl Mitchell with Doug Bracewell and Jimmy Neesham missing out.
