Faced with selection dilemmas and struggling to adapt in hostile conditions, the Shreyas Iyer-led India have their task cut out when they take on England in the series-deciding fourth T20 International here on Thursday.
The biggest selection conundrum surrounds Sanju Samson, who was dropped from the second and third T20Is in favour of 15-year-old swashbuckler Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The teenager has not done any worse or better than the rest of the team so far and given that the side is trailing 0-2 right now, India head coach Gautam Gambhir has not ruled out Samson’s return.
In a matter of four months, Samson’s career has swung from darkness to dizzying heights, only to return to square one.
