India Considers Batting Changes Ahead of Second T20I Against West Indies

India Considers Batting Changes Ahead of Second T20I Against West IndiesPreviousNext

India aims to secure a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series against West Indies with the second match in Ranchi. Sanju Samson's recent poor form has raised selection questions, potentially opening a spot for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Despite Samson's struggles, the middle order led by captain Shreyas Iyer, who scored his maiden T20I century in the first match, has performed strongly. India's bowling attack, including debutant Naman Dhir, is expected to remain largely unchanged for the upcoming game.
