India might have won matches, but keeping aside the likes of Tilak Varma, Abhishek Sharma, and Hardik Pandya, no other Indian batter has been performing with the bat. Suryakumar Yadav, the skipper, has lost his spark with the bat ever since he took guard as India's captain.
After another batting collapse in the second match, former Indian batter Robin Uthappa has urged for a change in the Indian playing XI. He backed the inclusion of Samson in the side.
"I would like to see Shubman and Abhishek Sharma opening the batting. Complete left field here, Sanju Samson at No. 3, Suryakumar Yadav at No. 4 and Tilak Varma at No. 5, and then so on and so forth," he said.
"You still have Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube and Axar Patel. So your eight batters are sorted, and you have five bowlers. I would love to see that XI. I think that would be the ideal XI for India," Uthappa observed.
"He needs to have a fixed spot," said the former Indian wicket-keeper on Suryakumar Yadav
"I definitely believe that, as far as Suryakumar Yadav is concerned, he needs to have a fixed slot. Whether No. 3 or No. 4, we know that in the IPL, he has scored a lot of runs at No. 4. Stick with him at No. 4," he reasoned.

The cricket analyst also feels that Shubman Gill needs to take his time and play the game just like he has done over the years. He does not need to give in to the over-aggressive standards, especially with Abhishek Sharma at the opposite end.
"He can try just getting in in the first few overs, and once he gets in, he ups the ante. After that, it's almost impossible to get him out," Uthappa observed.
