With [India already wrapping up the 5-match series](https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/india-vs-new-zealand-4th-t20-date-time-venue-squad-playing-xi-prediction-pitch-10496959/) by winning the 3rd match at Guwahati, Suryakumar Yadav and Co will look to move closer to a clean sweep against the Kiwis when the two teams meet again at Visakhapatnam on Wednesday for the 4th T20I.

In a much-needed relief for the Indians, their skipper Surya has finally found his rhythm just in time for the T20 World Cup, set to start in February. The India T20 captain slammed 80 and 57 in the second and 3rd T20Is respectively vs the Kiwis, roaring back from his ordinary form which plagued him for the last 2 years.

 With Tilak Varma out with an injury, India will also be happy that Ishan Kishan has been a a worthy replacement at no.3 while the form of opener Sanju Samson has been a concern. With [Shreyas Iyer](https://indianexpress.com/about/shreyas-iyer/) waiting in the wings, Samson will look to get runs in Visakhapatnam or he might be relegated to the bench during the showpiece event with India likely to prefer Ishan Kishan and [Abhishek Sharma](https://indianexpress.com/about/abhishek-sharma/) as openers and Iyer as the No.3 in case Varma can’t make it.
