Ravichandran Ashwin rates Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 1 out of 10 after Christchurch outing

Ravichandran Ashwin gave Vaibhav Sooryavanshi a rating of 1 out of 10 following the teenager's difficult outing in India's four-wicket win over New Zealand. Sooryavanshi, moved to number three because of Ishan Kishan's injury, managed only four runs off eight balls in the chase of 181.

Ashwin awarded perfect 10s to Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy for their record 69-run seventh-wicket stand and gave Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav 9 out of 10 each for their bowling. He rated Abhishek Sharma 9 for intent and Shreyas Iyer 2 for his seven runs off 11 balls.

Ashwin said he dislikes giving zeroes, which is why Sooryavanshi received a 1. India lead the five-match series 2-0 ahead of the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday.
