England bowler Jofra Archer looking forward to another fight with young Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, he says, “May the best man win.”At just 15 years of age, Sooryavanshi made a name for himself by becoming the highest-grossing, six-time winner and the highest-grossing winner of the year. Indian Premier League.However, England have managed to keep him quiet in his first two T20 International matches. The left-back scored 14 in Manchester and 13 in Nottingham as England won both matches to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.Despite the low scores, Sooryavanshi has shown his batting skills, already hitting four sixes in two innings. Two of those six came off Archer in their innings in the second T20I.The England pacer responded in the third over at Trent Bridge, chasing Sooryavanshi with a 91mph short ball that brushed the batsman’s glove before being caught by the wicketkeeper.“It’s even here,” Archer said. “We’ve got two games left and they can go anywhere, so the good guy wins.”The pair are expected to meet again in the fourth T20I in Bristol on Thursday.India, led by Shreyas Iyer, went into the must-win game trailing 0-2 in the series after struggling to adapt to England.One of the key questions in India’s selection process is whether Sanju Samson will return to the playing XI. The wicketkeeper batsman was dropped for the second and third T20Is, with Sooryavanshi taking his place at the top of the order.Sooryavanshi hasn’t fared much better or worse than the rest of the batsmen so far, and with India on the verge of another T20I defeat, it remains to be seen whether the team management will stick with the youngster or bring back Samson.
