New Delhi will host the first match of India's three-match T20I series against Afghanistan on Sunday. 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is generating a lot of buzz as he joined only three other Indian players for an optional practice session at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. The young cricketer has been consistently performing well in recent matches, including a standout performance in the Zimbabwe series where he topped the run scoring charts.
India's captain Shreyas Iyer faces a tricky decision as he must choose between Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson for the top spot in the batting order. Iyer emphasized the importance of keeping the other players who have not made it into the playing XI confident and prepared to make an impact when their turn comes. Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran revealed that his team has meticulously studied Sooryavanshi's game, using insights from players who faced him in the Indian Premier League.
Zadran expressed confidence in his team's preparation, particularly in handling the formidable Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
