'Will you play him only when someone is injured?' - Aakash Chopra questions Indian team management after Sooryavanshi's snub in Auckland

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has criticized team selectors following India's recent fourth T20 fixture against New Zealand. Despite having already sealed the series by claiming the initial three games, management immediately sidelined opening batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to accommodate the returning Ishan Kishan in Auckland.

Chopra publicly questioned whether the promising youngster would solely be granted playing time as an emergency replacement rather than through standard selection merit, urging leadership to clarify their long-term development roadmap for the athlete.
