Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remains on bench for second T20I

Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was left out of India's playing XI for the second consecutive T20I against Afghanistan on Tuesday. The left-hander has not featured in either of the first two matches despite being named in the squad.

India made one change to their XI, with Ravi Bishnoi replacing the injured Varun Chakravarthy. Sanju Samson retained his place at the top of the order alongside Abhishek Sharma and scored 57 off 22 balls in India's seven-wicket win.

Captain Shreyas Iyer said after the match that India would look to give opportunities to players sitting out in the third T20I on September 17. The final match of the series is a dead rubber with India already leading 2-0.
