Will there be a chance in the playing XI in Lucknow?
Vaibhav has already ranked his 6 big dreams, but now the biggest question before him is to get a place in the ‘playing eleven’ in the first match of the T20 series against the West Indies.
The first match of the 5-match T20 series between India and West Indies will be played on October 6 at the Ikana Stadium in Lucknow. In this series, there is a fierce competition between Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi along with Abhishek Sharma for the second opening slot.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that he has had a personal conversation with Vaibhav, but it is not easy to suddenly drop players who have been performing for a long time in the team. If Vaibhav gets a chance in the playing XI in Lucknow on October 6, it will be a real start for him to realize these dreams on the field.
