Ishan Kishan was ruled out of the match because of an injury. In place of him, the Indian team management placed the 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a regular opener, at No.3. According to Kartik, slotting Sooryavanshi to No.3 was a wrong call made by the team management.
Without smashing a single boundary, Sooryavanshi departed after facing 8 balls and scoring only 4 runs. Why did he fail to play his natural game? Murali Kartik, who is now working as a cricket expert, mentioned that it could be because of a change in his batting position.
Murali Kartik questions Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's batting position
"There were no such issues today. But I believe, and I have said this before the match began, especially before our batting, when you are playing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, where is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi good at? He is good as an opener," Murali Kartik said while speaking to the Sony Sports Network.
"He has not played in between. He is a young kid. He has played in the same manner. And this is why you have experienced players who can play different roles. And I believe, and I have won the match, that is a different thing. But if you are playing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, he should have opened today," Kartik continued.
Should Team India drop Sanju Samson deep in the batting order?
"Sanju Samson is one of your players who is a banker. He can play for you in a different place. I believe he can be out of position. And people can say, why only him? But sometimes you are a senior player and an experienced player. So you have to play these roles. Especially when you have picked Vaibhav Sooryavanshi," he added further.
