Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in as India wins the toss and bowls in the 2nd T20 against
New Zealand
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) --- Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has
returned to the India cricket team for the second Twenty20 international
Saturday, giving fans in the Southern Hemisphere their first chance to see the
15-year-old prodigy.
Vaibhav steps into the India lineup in place of Ishan Kishan who has a groin
injury and will bat at first drop unless India chooses to match him in an all
left hand opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma.
The only other change to the India lineup comes in the bowling attack where
Prince Yadav replaces Mayank Yadav.
India won the toss Saturday and chose to bowl, as it did in the first match of
the series which it won by four wickets with two balls remaining. The thrilling
match saw 455 runs scored as India achieved its highest successful run chase in
its T20 international history.
New Zealand has made one change, also among the bowlers, naming Jacob Duffy in
place of Adam Milne.
The match is being played on the same pitch at Hagley Oval on which the first
match was played.
