Ishan Kishan, Vaibhav set for Afghanistan series
After the Duleep Trophy final, both Ishan Kishan and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be seen in action for India in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.
The series will begin on September 13 in Delhi. It will give Vaibhav another major opportunity to learn and perform at the international level. However, Ishan admitted the challenges of playing different formats of cricket.
Moving between formats can be challenging because each format demands a different approach and mindset. However, Ishan is focused on continuing to play and adapt to whatever challenge comes next. India will have two days of practice before the Afghanistan series begins.
Ishan further said, “I just keep playing. Yes, playing different formats can be tough. We have two days of practice ahead of the Afghanistan game.” Amid this, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Test hopes take a backseat despite Duleep Trophy brilliance.
