The first match of this series will be played on Tuesday at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This match will start at 7 pm. Before this match, discussion has started regarding India’s playing-11. The biggest question is whether 15 year old young sensation batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be given a chance in the playing-11? Vaibhav Suryavanshi was given a chance in the Asian Games played in Japan. He played both semi-final and final matches.
Interestingly, along with Vaibhav, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma were also part of the playing-11. Actually, VVS Laxman was the head coach of Team India during the Asian Games. Considering the conditions of the pitch, he included Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the playing-11. However, now Gautam Gambhir will take up the responsibility of the head coach of the Indian team in the West Indies series.
Will Gautam Gambhir put Vaibhav on the bench?
The field conditions and team combination are different against West Indies. In such a situation, head coach Gautam Gambhir can make Vaibhav Suryavanshi sit on the bench in this series. Earlier, in the 3-match T20 series against Afghanistan, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was not given a chance in even a single match. Actually, Gautam Gambhir says that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a very talented player, but he will have to wait for his turn. Gambhir has already made it clear that the combination which has won the T20 World Cup for India and has consistently performed brilliantly for the last 2-3 years. Would like to proceed with the same combination. In such a situation, Vaibhav will have to wait for his turn.
‘The decision was not taken under the pressure of social media’

He cannot be dropped after just 3-4 bad matches. Let us tell you that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is known for his explosive batting. Fans are eager to see his batting. In such a situation, there is often a demand on social media to include him in the playing-11.
How will India’s playing-11 be in the first T20?
