Vaibhav replaced Sanju
Indian captain Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and decided to bat first. Shreyas told that Vaibhav has replaced Sanju Samson. Apart from this there is no change in the team. Sanju was able to score only 6 runs in the last 3 T20 International innings, due to which he had to make room for Vaibhav.
