And in all likelihood, India will go with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as openers in the first T20 International against West Indies on Tuesday. Young Sooryavanshi was part of the Asian Games gold medal winning Indian team and played all the matches, but failed to fire. “We all know the talent of Vaibhav.
India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel on Monday said teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi needs to spend more time with the team even if he is not playing which will only be “great” for the game.

“And if he’s not getting that game time, he’s still on a bus, in the dugout, in the hotel with guys with a lot of experience. With him sharing that sort of dressing room and talking to guys, or just actually watching how the guys go through their processes and how they set up innings, will be key for him. “If you put guys in the right environment and they can ask the right questions and they can observe. So I always challenge them, and for any young player, if he gets game time or if that game time is a little limited, it’s still our job to make sure that these guys learn, they grow, and they ask questions. “Kuldeep spoke about it in the past after the ODI series that he feels he’s bowling well again. And that is great news for us. “It is sort of looking at the bigger picture, but also you want to win games for India.
Morkel said the main goal for India is to win games and create a strong bench strength to fall back upon. As a bowler sometimes we can struggle with our rhythm, it takes a little bit longer at times to find that, but for us, he’s a massive match-winner, he’s confident, he’s bowling well,” he said. You want to give the guys the opportunity who has done well so far to continue that, and we look forward to the series and we’ll take it as it comes,” Morkel said.
