In the third T20 match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma created a world record by scoring 118 runs in just 6 overs of the Powerplay. However, Vaibhav was not included in the playing-11 in the fourth T20 match. Now fans are questioning this decision and some fans are holding this decision responsible for India’s defeat.
New Zealand made a huge score of 259 runs
Talking about the fourth T20 match, New Zealand scored 259 runs in 20 overs after batting first. Glenn Phillips played a stormy innings of 107 runs for the Kiwi team. However, despite this big score, the target of 245 runs was successfully chased down on this ground earlier. So even after the end of the first innings, India’s hopes of victory were not completely lost. The Indian team once again needed to bat aggressively like in the third T20, but this time the team did not get the services of Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Vaibhav is out as Ishan Kishan is fit?
Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer did not give a chance to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who batted brilliantly in the third T20I, in the fourth match. Vaibhav was dropped from the team as Ishan Kishan got fit. The special thing is that in the third T20, Vaibhav played an explosive innings of 45 runs in just 19 balls. The Indian team had already won the series. The fans did not understand the decision to keep Vaibhav out in such a situation. Now after India’s crushing defeat, this decision of Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer is being discussed on social media. Fans are questioning why a player who had made a record-breaking start in the previous match, needed to be left out in the next important match?
