India Considers Kuldeep Yadav Return and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Debut for 5th T20I vs West IndiesPreviousNext

India and West Indies face off in the fifth T20I at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium with the series tied 2-2. India is considering lineup changes, including the possible return of spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who performed well earlier, and the potential debut of young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. While Sooryavanshi's inclusion could disrupt the current opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, team management is weighing options to strengthen bowling and maintain batting balance for the series decider.
