In the 2 T20Is of the 3-match series against the New Zealanders, the Indian batting order has failed to negotiate their spin attack. Hardik Pandya-led team's tactics against the spin haven't impressed ex-cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who has now come up with a suggestion for the young cricketers especially Ishan Kishan, who has been struggling in the shortest format of the game.

Expressing his concern over Ishan Kishan, who hit a blazing double century against Bangladesh last month, Gambhir highlighted how Kishan & other young stars need to rotate the strike more often than just going for the sixes.

'I think he needs to quickly learn to rotate like this, because on a wicket like this, it's not going to be easy to go down the ground and hit the sixes', said Gambhir.
For Kishan, who was ousted by Michael Bracewell in the first T20I after scoring 4 off 5, and was rendered a run out in the next T20I, the 41-year-old said, 'He still has to work a lot against playing spin because people will use a lot of spin against him in the first 6 overs. The sooner he improves against spin, the better it will get for him especially in the shortest format.’
