India will face the West Indies in the second T20I of the five-match series in Ranchi today. The match has raised questions about whether young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi will get an opportunity.
India won the opening T20I by eight wickets in Lucknow. The team will look to continue its winning run in the second match.
Vaibhav recently scored 53 runs during the Asian Games. However, his selection for today's match remains uncertain. According to the latest update provided, Sanju Samson is expected to play despite his recent failures. He scored 29 runs in his last 4 innings. He was the Player of the Tournament in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He scored 321 runs in the World Cup. That’s why Team management is backing him.
Suryavanshi previously impressed with his performances against Zimbabwe in July this year. He also won the Player of the Series award during that series. His performances have kept fans interested in his chances of playing for India.
However, fans will have to wait for the official playing XI to confirm whether Suryavanshi features in today's match.
After the West Indies series, India will tour New Zealand for a five-match T20I series starting on October 22, 2026. The remaining matches will take place on October 24, 27, and 30, followed by the final T20I on November 1, 2026.
The second T20I will begin at 7 PM. Fans can watch the live telecast on Star Sports and stream the match on JioHotstar.
