The third match of the five-match T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played on 27 October (Tuesday) at Henry Stadium in Wellington. According to Indian time, this match will start at 12.30 pm. The Indian team is eyeing to win this match and capture the series. Before this match, Team India’s young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi was seen taking special tips from head coach Gautam Gambhir.
During the practice session, Gautam Gambhir was seen explaining the nuances of batting to Vaibhav Suryavanshi with the bat in his hand. During this time Sanju Samson was also standing nearby. Now after Ishan Kishan is out of the third T20 match, Vaibhav is sure to get another chance in the playing eleven. However, it will be interesting to see whether he gets the responsibility of opening or he will bat at number three.
In the picture of the practice session, Gautam Gambhir is seen explaining some things related to the bat to 15-year-old Vaibhav. Young batsmen are also seen listening carefully to what the coach says. This guidance of Gambhir is being considered important for Vaibhav before the third T20. To make his mark in international cricket, he will have to take full advantage of this opportunity.
If Vaibhav Suryavanshi is fielded in the opening, he may get a chance to bat aggressively from the beginning. At the same time, playing at number three will give him an opportunity to show his game according to the conditions of the innings. Vaibhav batted at number three in the second T20 match, where only 4 runs came off his bat. If seen, for the first time in his T20 career, Vaibhav batted in this position.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already grabbed the headlines due to his aggressive batting. Now he will get a chance to showcase his talent in the third T20 against New Zealand. His conversation with Gautam Gambhir shows that attention is being paid to his preparation before the match. Indian fans will also be curious to see how the young batsman performs on the international stage and what role the team management puts him in.
