Shreyas Iyer's Team India is all set to take on the Afghanistan National Cricket Team for a three-match T20I series, starting today at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Ahead of the first match of the series, an update regarding Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's chances of playing in the first match has been revealed. According to the latest reports, the 15-year-old opener could miss the match.
The T20I squad of the India National Cricket Team is compelling, with three openers: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, and Sanju Samson. Ishan Kishan is there also, who is a versatile batter.
Team India is likely to drop Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from playing eleven vs Afghanistan
However, Sooryavanshi, Sharma, and Samson are the three main contenders for two opening slots. Since the arrival of the 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sanju Samson's spot in India's playing eleven becomes insecure. Before the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I, speculations are keep going on India's probable playing eleven, especially the opening pair.
While some of the reports indicated the teenage sensation could continue as the opener, a latest claim suggests Team India could choose to go with the pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. A RevSportz journalist, Rohit Juglan, on September 13, shared on 'X', "No Sooryavanshi looks like in today's game."
