India stands on the brink of clinching the T20I series against New Zealand as they eye a win in Wellington. Former cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath has proposed a strategic change by swapping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with Varun Chakaravarthy for the pivotal third match.

Badrinath noted Sooryavanshi's difficulties in an atypical role during his time on the field. The former player emphasized the importance of keeping Sanju Samson in the lineup for the upcoming fixture.

Reflecting on India's solid performance against New Zealand over the past decade, the team looks forward to maintaining momentum. The suggested tactical shift aims to bolster the bowling department while giving the youngster time to adapt.
