India predicted playing XI vs Japan: Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi start in the historic T20I match?
With India set to face Japan in a historic game at Sano International Cricket Ground, here's a look at the predicted lineups and if Sooryavanshi will play in the game.
India are set to face Japan in a historic T20I debut match on September 22 at the Sano International Cricket Ground. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has hinted at giving Vaibhav Sooryavanshi an opportunity, after he was omitted from the Afghanistan series. Former India batter Aakash Chopra has called for two changes, suggesting Sooryavanshi could open the batting with Sanju Samson, and Jasprit Bumrah could be rested.
Varun Chakravarthy is currently out due to a side strain. India will field the same squad that played for the Asian Games, with captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming leading the team.
