'Bechare Ko Laate Kyu Ho Phir?': India Slammed For Ignoring Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Again

Fans are upset Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was left out of India's T20I team against Afghanistan for a third consecutive game.

Indian cricket fans are expressing their ire at the team management for leaving out Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the playing 11 for the third consecutive T20I against Afghanistan. The 15-year-old had to make way for senior opener Sanju Samson before the first match, despite being the Player of the Series in his last appearance for India in the three-T20I series against Zimbabwe, and failed to get a match here.

This means Sooryavanshi has yet to play an international match in India. Had he done so on Thursday, he’d have become the youngest cricketer in the world to play in the country. India skipper Shreyas Iyer had indicated that the team would be open to trying out new faces for the final T20I, having won the series 2-0 already, but chose to make only one change, handing a debut to pacer Yash Thakur in place of Arshdeep Singh.
