The discussion has once again intensified regarding the opening pair of the Indian T20 team. Before the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan, Team India has three options in the order in the form of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Now all eyes are on which two players captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir will field in the beginning. There is a discussion regarding this in the cricket world and people are giving suggestions as per their own.

In this, former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta has given an interesting suggestion. He believes that India should try the new opening pair of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Sanju Samson against Afghanistan. The special thing is that both of them have not started the innings together for India till now.

Who will get the command?

The biggest challenge facing Team India at present is not the lack of options, but the abundance of options. Abhishek Sharma has been included in the opening options of the T20 team for a long time. Sanju Samson has also batted in the top order and has proved himself. In this sequence, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has strengthened his place in the team with his explosive batting at a young age. In the T20 series against England, India had fielded Vaibhav along with Abhishek Sharma and sometimes Sanju in different matches. However, till now the pair of Vaibhav and Sanju has not opened.

What will Sanju-Vaibhav pair look like?

According to former cricketer Deep Dasgupta, when all three players are available, the team should give enough matches to different pairs to understand which opening pair can prove to be the most effective for the future. He said on his YouTube channel that till now India has seen the pairing of Abhishek-Vaibhav and Abhishek-Sanju, but did not get a chance to try Sanju and Vaibhav together. Therefore there is no harm in seeing this pair also. However, he also clarified that his suggestion does not mean dropping Abhishek Sharma from the team. He says that Team India should give a chance to the pair of Vaibhav and Sanju in the opening.

spectacular display of splendor

The biggest argument in favor of Vaibhav Suryavanshi is his recent form. He batted brilliantly in the T20 series against Zimbabwe and scored 151 runs in three innings. His average was 50.33 and strike rate was 196.10. On the basis of this performance, he remained among the most influential batsmen of India in the series and became the Player of the Tournament. After this performance, Vaibhav has been retained in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan. Keeping his performance in mind, he can be retained in the upcoming series. Now the question is whether we will see a new pair opening for India in the upcoming series or not.
