The News18 article, titled 'Ravindra Jadeja OUT, 2 Players IN? India's Likely Playing XI For 3rd ODI Against New Zealand,' likely published around January 23, 2023, ahead of the third One-Day International, presented a speculative look at India's lineup. Verification confirms that star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was indeed 'OUT' for the entire January 2023 ODI series against New Zealand, as he was recovering from a knee injury sustained in September 2022 and underwent surgery, returning to competitive cricket only in February 2023. However, the article's claim of '2 Players IN?' was an understatement. For the 3rd ODI played on January 24, 2023, in Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium, India, having already sealed the series 2-0, opted to rest several key players to test their bench strength. Reports from credible sources like The Indian Express indicated that Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav were rested, making way for Shahbaz Ahmed, Umran Malik, and Yuzvendra Chahal to be included in the playing XI. Washington Sundar also featured in that match. India ultimately won the match by 90 runs, securing a 3-0 series whitewash against New Zealand. The headline, while correctly stating Jadeja's absence, was sensationalized by using a question mark and understating the actual number of team changes.
