Former Indian star Cheteshwar Pujara has suggested that the team management stick with Sanju Samson over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Sooryavanshi has travelled with the Indian team to the UK tour but is yet to get a debut.

During the two matches against Ireland and the first T20I against England, the Indian team stuck with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as openers. Samson failed to make an impact, scoring just one run in three matches. However, Pujara has backed the Indian wicket-keeper to return to form.
