Following the conclusion of the Test series against England, India‘s focus will now shift to the 5 T20Is that will be played in Ahmedabad. The first match begins on the 12th of March and India will be raring to draw first blood. The Men in Blue announced their squads for the series last month and chose to hand maiden call ups to a host of extremely talented players who have been knocking on the selectors’ doors for quite some time.

Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kisan and Rahul Tewatia were those who were called up to the squad. However, it remains to be seen if they will feature in any of the matches that are played given that India seem to already have a settled and talented starting 11. Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman expressed his views on the same and stated that it was unlikely to see all of them getting a chance.

VVS Laxman spoke on Star Sports and previewed the upcoming T20I series. Talking of Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Rahul Tewatia, he said, “I don’t see them getting a chance because you have a settled middle order. I would love to see continuity as far as the No.4 position is concerned and Shreyas Iyer would be my choice as far as batting at No.4.”

“I would love to see Rishabh Pant back in the mix, batting at No.5 and then you have got Hardik Pandya at No.6. So, I don’t see Suryakumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan or for that matter Tewatia getting a chance but whenever they get a chance I am sure all of them will perform and play to the best of their abilities,” Laxman added.
