India retain their playing XI, with Sanju Samson continuing in the team
India entered the match with a 1-0 lead in the five-match series
India face the West Indies in the second T20I of the five-match series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Friday, October 9. The hosts entered the contest with a 1-0 lead after winning the series opener and are aiming to strengthen their advantage on home soil.
Is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Playing Today?
No, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not playing in the second T20I against the West Indies. India have retained their playing XI for the Ranchi encounter, meaning Sanju Samson continues in the side while the young batter misses out.
Samson's place has attracted attention following his modest performance in the series opener, where he scored 11 off nine balls. Sooryavanshi's absence means India have opted for continuity rather than making a change to their batting combination after the opening victory.
The hosts will now look to deliver another strong performance and take a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
