'Sooryavanshi should've opened': Ex-India cricketer slams decision to send him at No. 3
Former India spinner Murali Kartik criticised India’s decision to send 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at No. 3 against New Zealand, where he scored just four runs. Kartik believes Sooryavanshi should have opened, while experienced Sanju Samson handled the middle order. He also suggested Shivam Dube as an alternative replacement for injured Ishan Kishan if India needed middle-order support.
