India considers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for 2nd T20I against England

India faces England in the second T20I at Old Trafford this Saturday. Speculation surrounds a potential debut for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who could replace Sanju Samson after the latter's poor performance on the tour, scoring only 6 runs in three outings. Sooryavanshi's impressive IPL season, where he scored 776 runs and hit a record 72 sixes, has intensified calls for his inclusion. Meanwhile, Samson, despite being the Player of the Tournament in the previous T20 World Cup, is struggling for form. The decision on the lineup is anticipated as management considers the team’s balance and each player’s current form.
