Ravichandran Ashwin said Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looked uncomfortable batting at No. 3 after scoring four off eight balls against New Zealand in the second T20I. Ashwin suggested that Sanju Samson should bat at No. 3 if India want to accommodate all three batters in the playing XI.
India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first against New Zealand in the second T20I, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi returning to the Playing XI at No. 3. India made two changes, bringing in Sooryavanshi and Prince Yadav, while New Zealand included Jacob Duffy in place of Adam Milne.
