Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s recent form in India’s T20I setup is renewing discussion around Sanju Samson’s return to the side. After delivering a 48-ball knock against Zimbabwe, Sooryavanshi is seen as strengthening his case for a regular place in India’s batting line-up. Former India player Irfan Pathan comments that Sooryavanshi’s performance could potentially keep Samson out of the team, as selection decisions are being weighed in the current run of matches.
Both reports note that Samson is dropped for the series, while Abhishek Sharma has not been scoring consistently. With these considerations, the selection debate focuses on India’s opening combination ahead of the Asian Games, where team balance and batting form are likely to be key factors. The ongoing discussion reflects competition for spots in the T20I squad and how recent performances against Zimbabwe are influencing perceptions of who should start the batting in upcoming games.
