India Faces Selection Challenges with Sooryavanshi and Bhuvneshwar in New Zealand T20I Series
India's handling of young batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi during the recent T20I series against New Zealand has drawn criticism, with former captain Kris Srikkanth urging the team management to provide him consistent opportunities. Sooryavanshi showed promise but was sidelined after Ishan Kishan's return. Meanwhile, veteran bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggled in his comeback, taking only one wicket in four matches with a high economy rate. The team faced a demanding schedule, balancing player form and fitness amid a packed international calendar.
