IND vs ENG 5th T20I: Why is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi not playing the series finale?
India made two changes for the fifth and final T20I against England at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, with teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi left out of the playing XI.
Sanju Samson replaced Sooryavanshi, while all-rounder Suryansh Shedge came in for Washington Sundar as India looked to end the series on a positive note after already conceding an unassailable 3-0 lead.
At the toss, captain Shreyas Iyer explained that the team management wanted to test different combinations rather than dwell on the series result.
"I just want them to give hundred percent effort, irrespective of the result. I just want them to have a solid set of mindset where they just go in and try to get the best out of themselves, rather than sulking or being in that situation where you are a bit hurried out the game, give yourself some time, relax, take a breather. So just be in the moment and stop thinking about what's happened or what's going to happen," he said at the toss.
