Debate Over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's Omission After Ishan Kishan's Return in T20I Series
India dropped Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the playing XI for the fourth T20I against New Zealand after Ishan Kishan returned from injury. Former coach Stephen Fleming supported the decision, emphasizing consistent selection to foster player confidence and risk-taking. Conversely, ex-opener Aakash Chopra questioned treating Sooryavanshi as a mere injury replacement, suggesting he needs regular playtime, possibly in domestic cricket, to develop. Chopra called for clarity from team management on Sooryavanshi's long-term role.
