Shreyas Iyer will lead Team India in the three-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, starting on Sunday, September 13. The Men in Blue are facing a selection dilemma at the top of the order, with Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi competing for two spots.
“What is the batting order going to look like? Where does Vaibhav Suryavanshi stand, and what about Sanju Samson? How are you going to fit him in? He was such an important player in the World Cup and was dropped midway through that England series. Where does he stand?” Karthik questioned in a video on his Instagram account.
Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Add to India’s Opening Dilemma
Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are part of the squad. Samson and Abhishek were part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning campaign, while Sooryavanshi has quickly established himself as an exciting young option.
Samson was then left out of the squad for the Zimbabwe series. Abhishek and Sooryavanshi opened in all three matches. Abhishek, meanwhile, has also struggled for runs recently. The left-hander has averaged only 6.66 across his last six T20I innings, putting further pressure on the team management.
Dinesh Karthik Wants India to Find Clear T20I Identity
“I want this Indian T20 team to understand what their identity is. New captain, new vice-captain. They haven't got the result in Ireland or in England. They were absolutely outplayed there. What does it take? What is their plan? What is the bowling looking like? Who are the players you are going to trust? A lot of this is not just about winning the series, it's about understanding what they need to take out from this series against Afghanistan,” Karthik remarked.
They will have an opportunity to settle their batting order and bowling combination ahead of the Asian Games 2026 in Japan. Former India cricketer Vivek Razdan backed Sanju Samson and wanted India to drop Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
