former indian wicketkeeper batsman Parthiv Patel Think young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should be ready to bowl more short-pitch bowling as his international career progresses. The teenager, who impressed in IPL 2026, has struggled against England, scoring 14 and 13 runs in the last two T20 games. England’s bowlers have always targeted short bowlers and Patel believes this strategy will continue. Patel said England’s approach was not surprising as the team had settled on the strategy during the tournament. intense pulsed light. In an interview with JioHotstar, he said: “It’s not just Jofra ArcherI think anyone who has watched the IPL will not be surprised that there was a deliberate plan to bowl to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. It’s not just wickets; The previous ball was also very short. In the first game, when he hit six, the ball might not have bounced as much, but the line was the same. “Patel believes every team will continue to test the young player’s speed and jumping ability.“As Vaibhav Sooryavanshi progresses in his international career, he will continue to face such short bowling and over 145 kmph. So, the question will definitely be how he copes with short bowling as every bowler will target him,” he added.Patel also urged the Indian batsmen to show more patience after being bowled out for just 78 in the third T20I. He said players should take some time to adapt rather than attack from the start, especially in British conditions where the pitch and surface dimensions are different.“I would like to see the Indian batsmen at Bristol have a better understanding of the game and have more game awareness. Yes, there are 200 runs on the board but these are experienced T20 batsmen and in this format you have more time than you think,” he said.“You can take one or two chances to attract attention. The conditions are different, the wicket is not as flat and you have to adapt to the size of the ground and the speed of the wicket. So, it is very important to give yourself some time,” added Patel.India will now look to get back into form in the fourth T20I, while England will look to end the series with another win.
