Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's failure on T20I return leaves ex-India spinner fuming

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi struggled during his T20I return, managing only four runs from eight deliveries before exiting in the seventh over. While India successfully chased down a target of 181 with one ball remaining, former spinner Murali Kartik criticized the team management for slotting the 15-year-old at number three.

Kartik argued that the teenager should have opened the batting, suggesting that more experienced players like Sanju Samson should have adjusted their positions to accommodate the youngster's natural role. The successful chase was ultimately secured by late contributions from Tilak Varma, who scored 51 not out, alongside Naman Dhir and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
