Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
Srikkanth questions team management
Sooryavanshi then made his T20I debut and scored 14, 13 and 15 in his first three games. Samson returned for the fifth T20I against England, scoring 27, but was rested for the Zimbabwe tour. Sooryavanshi took his opportunities on that tour, scoring 50, 20 and 81. including the final, his performances have since become less reliable Although the wicketkeeper-batter played three important innings during India’s 2026 T20 World Cup triumph.
Now that they’ve seen Abhishek for so long, he can be rested, and Sooryavanshi and Samson can open in the next match,” Srikkanth said in a YouTube video. Now, again, Samson will score in the next match,” Srikkanth said. India’s T20I team has several talented opening batters, including Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson , Ishan Kishan and young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. However, frequent changes in the playing XI have raised concerns about the team management’s approach, with former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth believing that the uncertainty has affected the confidence of both Samson and Sooryavanshi. Srikkanth believes the team management should give young players more chances instead of constantly changing the opening combination. He suggested resting Abhishek Sharma and allowing Samson and Sooryavanshi to open together. “They have not only spoiled his (Sanju Samson’s) confidence, India have totally spoiled Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s confidence. He could have been given three matches against a team like the West Indies. He also questioned Samson’s consistency.
