Delhi:In the fifth and last T20 match against New Zealand, the Indian team must include Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the playing eleven. This 15-year-old young batsman had attracted everyone's attention with his aggressive batting in the third T20, but after the return of Ishan Kishan in the fourth match, he had to sit out. Now the Indian team, which has taken a 3-1 lead in the series, has a good opportunity to give Vaibhav another chance in Hamilton.

Vaibhav should open with Abhishek Sharma in the last match to be held at Seddon Park on Sunday, 1 November. There are three big reasons behind this, which we have mentioned in the article.

1. Confidence should be increased by giving continuous opportunities to Vaibhav.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi played a quick inning of 45 runs in 19 balls in the third T20 played in Wellington. He hit four fours and four sixes in his innings. He looked to be in good form, but was out on the ball of Matthew Fisher.

After this, Ishan Kishan returned for the fourth T20 in Auckland and Vaibhav had to sit out. Ishaan had returned to the team after recovering from the injury suffered in the first match, so his return is understandable. However, the series was already in India's control and the team could have given a chance to Vaibhav by giving rest to a senior batsman.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra had also raised questions on the decision to keep Vaibhav out of the team. He believes that if Vaibhav is played only when a player is injured or unavailable, then there will not be much benefit in keeping him with the team.

Vaibhav is just 15 years old. In such a situation, getting continuous opportunities will increase their confidence and will also help them in understanding the pressure of international cricket.

2. After winning the series, Vaibhav can play without pressure

When Vaibhav came out to bat in Wellington, India was one step away from winning the series. The team had a challenging target of 199 runs and New Zealand's fast bowlers were also bowling well.

Now the situation is different. India has taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. In such a situation, there will not be much pressure of result on Vaibhav in the last match. He can play his shots freely and attack the New Zealand bowlers from the beginning.

This kind of opportunity can be very important for a young batsman. He can showcase his batting in a better way without any extra pressure.

3. The pairing of Abhishek and Vaibhav can be heavy on New Zealand's bowlers.

India has tried different opening pairs in this series, but the pair of Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed the most. In Wellington, both of them had made a partnership of 133 runs in just 43 balls. Both the batsmen put pressure on the New Zealand bowlers from the very beginning and scored runs quickly with each other.

The opening pair of Abhishek and Sanju Samson has also performed well in the past, but in the current series, the aggressive pairing of Abhishek with Vaibhav can create more problems for New Zealand.

Abhishek is known for his explosive batting, while Vaibhav has also shown the ability to play big shots at a young age. If both get a chance to play together in Hamilton, then the Indian team can win the match only in the powerplay.

After winning the series, India has a chance to try young players in the last match. In such a situation, fielding Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the opening along with Abhishek Sharma can be a good decision for the team.
