Not many 9-year-olds can say they walked alongside Lionel Messi at the World Cup game where he became the tournament's leading goalscorer. But Santi Cruz Melo can. Ahead of Argentina's group-stage game against Austria at Dallas Stadium on Monday, 9-year-old Melo was selected to walk out with Argentina, and it turned out to be a day hell never forget. "I heard the teacher say get in two lines and I ended up in the front," Melo told FOX 4, the local Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate. World Cup walkouts start with the teams captain in the front, followed by the goalkeeper. Melos first in line paired him with Messi. Once Melo realized who he was paired with, he knew he was in the presence of the best in the world. "Hes the best player in the whole entire universe," Melo said of Messi. "I got to be calm, I was not going to freak out, like I just got to be calm. Then he walked out besides me, I stuck out my hand and he held it and we walked out." This World Cup marks Messis sixth total World Cup, and the GOAT is in pursuit of defending Argentinas 2022 title. What Melo also got to witness after standing beside Messi was his historic performance. His one goal against Austria put him in a category of his own: the World Cups all-time leading goalscorer, among men and women, with 18 total goals. Although Messi and Melo did not exchange words, Messis kind smile was the perfect gesture to make Melos day even better. "This is so cool," Melo said. "Im walking out with Messi. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Probably one of the best days of my life." Messi and Argentina have already clinched Group J and a spot in the round of 32. Argentina will close out group stage play against Jordan on Saturday at Dallas Stadium.

Multiple first-round projections slipped into the second round. Who could pick them up?

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's opening partner vs Ireland: Decoding Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson record in T20Is in all batting positions originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is set to open for India on debut, with Abhishek Sharma or Sanju Samson his likely partner.Abhishek averages 34.49 at a strike rate of 192.38 as an opener, with two centuries and 10 fifties.Samson averages 35.62 opening at a strike rate of 181.93, but is far less effective in the middle orderDecoding Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson record in T20Is in all batting positionsVaibhav Sooryavanshi's anticipated India debut against Ireland brings an intriguing selection question to the fore.With the 15-year-old likely to open the batting, India must decide who partners him at the top, and the choice appears to fall between world No. 1 Abhishek Sharma and reigning T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson.Both are established openers, yet the arrival of Sooryavanshi creates a logjam at the top of the order. India's likely XI cannot accommodate all three as openers, meaning one of Abhishek or Samson may be asked to shift positions or make way entirely for the teenage prodigy.A closer look at the T20I numbers of both Abhishek and Samson across various batting positions offers a useful guide to how India might resolve the dilemma and which combination gives the team the best balance at the top of the innings.MORE:Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stands on the brink of more history with India debutAbhishek Sharma's record by batting position in T20IsAbhishek has been a near-exclusive opener for India, and the numbers reflect a player built for the role. He has scored 1,414 of his 1,438 T20I runs while opening, at an explosive strike rate that few in world cricket can match.PositionInnsRunsHSAvgS/R100s50sOpening431,41413534.49192.38210No. 32241412.00120.0000Overall451,43813533.44190.46210The contrast is stark. Abhishek's tiny sample at No. 3 yielded just 24 runs at a strike rate of 120, underlining that he is an opener and little else. Moving him down the order would blunt his greatest weapon, the ability to tear apart attacks in the powerplay.MORE:Belfast's iconic Titanic Quarter: Where Sooryavanshi & India will stay during Ireland tourSanju Samson's record by batting position in T20IsSamson has been used more flexibly throughout his T20I career, batting everywhere from opener to No. 7. His best returns, however, have come at the top, where his three centuries and a far superior strike rate set him apart from his middle-order numbers.PositionInnsRunsHSAvgS/R100s50sOpening2892611135.62181.9334No. 35915618.20121.3301No. 4112135821.30129.8801No. 581383923.00127.7800Overall541,39911128.55156.8436Like Abhishek, Samson is a different player away from the top. His strike rate plummets from 181.93 as an opener to the 120s and 130s in the middle order, and all three of his T20I hundreds have come while opening the innings.MORE:What is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's jersey number for India?Verdict: Who should open with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi vs Ireland?The data points to a clear conclusion. Both Abhishek and Samson are devastating openers and significantly diminished middle-order batters, so whoever is asked to drop down sacrifices much of their value. The decision, therefore, hinges on who adapts least poorly and what balance India seeks.Abhishek should retain his opening slot alongside Sooryavanshi. As the world's No. 1 ranked T20I batter with the higher strike rate of 192.38, he offers a left-handed powerplay threat that complements rather than duplicates the teenager's fearless approach, even if both being left-handed is a minor concern against spin.That leaves Samson, whose flexibility and wicketkeeping make him the logical man to shift to No. 3. While his record there is modest, his experience and his standing as the T20 World Cup 2026 Player of the Tournament mean he retains immense value, and his glovework keeps the XI balanced.The most sensible path is Abhishek and Sooryavanshi at the top, with Samson dropping one place to accommodate India's brightest young star.For all the latest cricket news, opinion, and commentary and to share your voice, head to ourFacebook,Instagram,andX (Twitter)pages.
