Vaibhav Sooryavanshi walked in at No.3 but, like his fellow top order batsmen, failed to get going in the second T20I in Christchurch.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was moved out of India's opening batting slot for the first time in his international career, batting at No. 3 during the second T20I against New Zealand in Christchurch.
