The Iyer-led India is currently in Japan for the ongoing men's cricket event in the 2026 Asian Games. Because of a clash of schedules, the selectors named two different sets of the team: one under the coaching of the full-time head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and the set of players who are currently in Japan is under the observation of VVS Laxman.
In his latest comments. Kaif urged Shreyas Iyer to maintain the playing combination, even after returning home, when VVS Laxman will not be with the team. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the team either kept Sanju Samson or played Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the playing XIs.

Mohammad Kaif, in the same YouTube video, further stated that the team should always plan the playing XI without leaving Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on the bench.

Along with Vaibhav, Sanju, and Abhishek, Ishan Kishan is another batter who could play as an opener. Shreyas Iyer-led team slotted Ishan at No. 5, and he played an 80-run knock in the 2026 Asian Games. This showed that all four hard hitters can play together in the same match.
"I told this before also that all three should play together. You cannot keep Suryavanshi out. He is ready and does not need grooming. You will see Vaibhav, Abhishek, and Sanju playing together. However, I would keep the left-right combination and stick to Abhishek and Sanju opening. Ishan played at five and scored 80, so the flexibility is there. I am happy that VVS showed that this combination can work," Kaif added.
