🏏India Tour of England 2026: 5th T20I on11th July 2026 at 7PM IST🏏 - Page 3

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi announced himself with a stellar IPL campaign, but the step up to international cricket has brought a fresh set of challenges. Interestingly, his Rajasthan Royals teammate Jofra Archer has dismissed him in each of their last two meetings, highlighting technical areas that the youngster will need to refine. Nevertheless, it is still the beginning of Sooryavanshi’s international journey and the adjustment period is a natural part of any young player’s development. Unlike the batting-friendly surfaces seen during much of the IPL, international cricket often demands greater adaptability against higher-quality bowling attacks in varying conditions. The quicker he learns to assess conditions and tailor his approach, the stronger he is likely to succeed. Can he respond with a more measured approach today? We'll find out shortly.

It has been a challenging start for India’s new T20I captain, as the defending world champions are yet to find their rhythm. India’s last two T20 World Cup triumphs came under Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, raising hopes that Shreyas Iyer could continue that successful legacy. After leading Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL 2024 title and enjoying productive spells with Punjab Kings over the following two seasons, Iyer entered the role with an impressive leadership résumé. However, his stint as captain has begun on a difficult note, with India struggling to produce consistent performances.
