After the match was over, captain Shreyas Iyer explained the reason for this. He told why Vaibhav was not played in this match and why Sanju Samson was included in the team in his place. In this match, Team India had to face defeat by 56 runs.

Shreyas Iyer told why Vaibhav was dropped

Let us tell you that in the post match press conference after the fifth match, Shreyas Iyer said that we had chosen the best combination keeping the conditions in mind. We also wanted a right-handed batsman to open with Abhishek and that is why Vaibhav did not get a chance in this match. If you see, he was the only right-handed batsman among all the left-handed batsmen. As I said earlier, we wanted to try a different combination that suited these conditions. Apart from this, he is an excellent batsman and has won many series for us in the past as well. That’s why we gave a chance to Sanju.

Vaibhav scored 42 runs at an average of 14

Talking about the performance of Sanju Samson, he got a chance to play only two matches in this series. Due to poor form, he was dropped from the playing XI after the first T20 match. After this, Vaibhav got a chance in the middle three matches and even there he could not do anything special. Jofra Archer dismissed Vaibhav twice in three matches. In three matches of this series, Vaibhav scored 42 runs at an average of 14. In which his highest score was 15 runs.
