India vs Afghanistan Live Score, 3rd T20I: Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally get his chance?

India have dominated the series so far, making host Afghanistan look second best in familiar conditions. After Tuesday’s win, captain Shreyas Iyer hinted that the team management could change the combination before the squad leaves for the Asian Games, which begin on September 19 in Japan.

One of the biggest talking points is whether teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets an opportunity. India have so far stayed with their preferred opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, both of whom are in good form after Sooryavanshi made his debut during the England tour in July when Samson was out of form.

“We want all of them to get used to the wicket and the conditions and also get some practice. So, it would be a nice game to give opportunities to the players, especially who have been sitting out, and also change a little bit in the combination as well,” Iyer said after India’s second win.

Another way to include Sooryavanshi in the XI could be by resting Ishan Kishan.

Kishan joined the national squad after captaining East Zone in the Duleep Trophy, while Samson has kept wickets in the first two matches of the series.
