Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has predicted the likely playing XI for India's fourth T20 International against New Zealand in Auckland, with questions surrounding the inclusion of pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Ashwin, who has transitioned to analysis and commentary, offered his selection thoughts ahead of the match scheduled in Auckland. The prediction comes as India look to finalize their combination for the series.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's place in the side has been a topic of discussion following recent performances, with the experienced seamer potentially making way for alternative bowling options.
