Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi play today? How much did India star score against West Indies in 4th T20I in Hyderabad

India go into the fourth T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad with the series in a healthy position. A 14-run win at Indore on Sunday put them 2-1 up, after the West Indies had chased down 250 in Ranchi to level the contest. Abhishek Sharma's 69 off 30 balls and Arshdeep Singh's 3/44 made the difference.

One name has still not featured for India, though. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has not faced a ball in the series, even though he is part of the 15-man squad. Sanju Samson and Abhishek have opened in all three games, and Samson's returns have been uneven, with scores of 11, 82 and 3.

That has kept the debate alive over whether the teenager should get a game before the series ends. With the fifth and final T20I in Bengaluru on October 17, India's management is running out of matches in which to try something different.

Sooryavanshi last played for India in the Asian Games gold medal match against Pakistan on October 3. He had scored 38 against Sri Lanka two days earlier. Those two innings gave him 53 runs at the Asian Games.

Predicted line-ups suggest India are unlikely to change a winning team in Hyderabad. West Indies have a fitness doubt over Romario Shepherd, who missed the Indore game with a niggle. The match starts at 7 pm IST.

Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi play today in the 4th T20I at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad?

It looks unlikely, although the final XI will only be confirmed at the toss. India have kept a settled group through the series, and the predicted team for Hyderabad again has Abhishek and Samson at the top. Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma follow in the middle order.

Indore gave the management little reason to change. Abhishek and Kishan added 108 for the second wicket, with Kishan making 37. India's problem was the finish, as they were bowled out for 223 after Iyer fell lbw for 1 and Tilak and Axar Patel were run out.

That collapse could still prompt a tweak, but it is more likely to affect the lower order than the openers. Sooryavanshi's chance may depend on whether India want to rotate for the final game in Bengaluru instead.
