Vaibhav, who impressed with his performances in the IPL 2026, is yet to convert the success into international cricket. The youngster has managed scores of 14 off 10 balls in the second T20I and 13 off five deliveries in the third match against England, with the hosts repeatedly testing him with short deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cNot just Jofra Archer, I think anyone who watched the IPL would not be surprised that there is a deliberate plan to bowl short to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. It wasn\u2019t just the wicket ball; the ball before it was short as well. In the first game, on the delivery he hit for six, it may not have bounced as much, but the line was the same,\u201d Parthiv told Jio Hotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi progresses in his international career, he will continue to face this kind of bowling, with deliveries that are short and above 145 km\/hr. So, the question will definitely be how he copes against short-pitched bowling, because every bowler will look to target him there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patel also called for greater game awareness from India\u2019s batting unit in the fourth T20I after their dismal collapse for 78 in the third match, urging the batters to adjust better to English conditions instead of chasing quick runs from the outset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI would like to see a better understanding of the game and a bit more game awareness from the Indian batters in Bristol. Yes, there are 200 runs on the board, but these are all experienced T20 batters and, in this format, you have a bit more time than you think,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

India will be hoping to bounce back in the fourth T20I after the heavy defeat in the third game, with the home team looking to seal the series with another win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
