Kaif predicts Sooryavanshi will replace Tilak or Dube
Mohammad Kaif said Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could force out Tilak Varma or Shivam Dube from India's T20I side within six months.
Former India batter Mohammad Kaif thinks 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be in the T20I XI within six months and could push Tilak Varma or Shivam Dube out. Kaif points to Dube's patchy form and fielding lapses, and he says Tilak's vice-captaincy won't protect him if the runs dry up. Sooryavanshi missed India's recent T20I series against Afghanistan, but Kaif has watched him tighten his game and add all-round value in the Duleep Trophy.
