It’s not like Vaibhav can walk in right now, our openers are scoring consistently: Iyer

India T20 captain Shreyas Iyer explained that young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must wait for his opportunity in the starting eleven because the opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson has been delivering consistent performances. Iyer noted that Sooryavanshi will benefit from experiencing overseas conditions ahead of future series during the team's ongoing tour.

The squad arrived in New Zealand following a busy schedule that featured home series against Afghanistan and the West Indies alongside the Asian Games. Iyer acknowledged that the team is ready to adapt to the pace-friendly wickets and cold weather as they prepare for a five-match series.
