India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I Playing 11: Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi get a look in vs AFG in Delhi?

India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I Playing 11: Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi get a look in vs AFG in Delhi?

In the third and final T20I against Afghanistan, India are expected to include prodigal son Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the top order. With the Asian Games approaching soon, skipper Shreyas Iyer mentioned that he wants to provide some players on the bench a chance before the event in Japan. However, the decision about Sooryavanshi's position in the batting lineup remains uncertain, as both Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson are also in decent form. One potential strategy could be to give Ishan Kishan a breather and include Sooryavanshi at No. 3.

Meanwhile, the bowling department will likely see continuity with Ravi Bishnoi retaining his spot, while Varun Chakaravarthy might miss the series and the Asian Games due to an injury. Afghanistan, on the other hand, might not make any changes to their side before leaving for the Asian Games, aiming to overcome their recent batting slump and secure a win to build momentum for the tournament.
