The wait goes on for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi . Sooryavanshi hinted at what is going on in his mind during this frustrating period of wait While coach Gambhir has already made his plans for the teenage prodigy clear. Since the start of the West Indies series, the 15-year-old opening batter hasn’t featured in a single game for India, warming the bench in all four assignments head coach Gautam Gambhir and others in the team management prefer the pairing of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma . With the series tied 2-2, the pressure is increasing on Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer to give Sooryavanshi a chance in the playing XI.
If a team that has gone from one World Cup to another one unbeaten and has won the World Cup. “But again, sometimes you go with the players form as well. Suddenly, it has become a team after one series and these guys not become bad players.”
Because those guys after three or four failures, don’t become bad players, from my point of view, I wanted to go back to the combination we had during the World Cup,.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has struggled for consistent playing XI chances under head coach Gautam Gambhir in India’s T20I team.
Known for his no-nonsense style of coaching, India head coach Gautam Gambhir made his stance clear over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s limited opportunities under him. “I think Samson showed what he is capable of. Someone doesn’t become Player Of The Tournament in the World Cup without having talent, so he has done enough. “From Vaibhav’s point of view, it is again a very clear conversation that he has to wait for his opportunity. We know the kind of talent he has. We know what he can do. But again, someone who done extremely well over a period of years obviously will always be ahead of someone who has got into the team. Whenever he gets that chance, you will get a longer run as well,” he explained.
Because of the way he had performed before that,” said Gambhir, obviously, it was tough- probably the toughest decision I have taken in my coaching career, was leaving him out of that England series.
In a cryptic social media post, Sooryavanshi wrote “still believing”, seemingly hinting that he hasn’t lost hope about earning spot in the playing XI for the 5th and final T20I against West Indies and guiding the team to a series-sealing victory. Gambhir said that it would not be fair if the management decides to drop one of Abhishek Sharm and Sanju Samson to accommodate Sooryavanshi.
