‘Sanju Samson Remark’ as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is Slighted Again.

Sooryavanshi has to wait a little longer to play for the senior national team.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir said 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will have to wait.

 Right now, they are focusing on senior team opportunities, prioritizing consistent performers over newcomers.

India men’s cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir said 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will have to wait longer for his opportunity in the senior national team, stressing that players who have performed consistently over the last few years will remain ahead of newcomers.

Talking at the post-match press conference after India’s 127-run win over Afghanistan in the third and final T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Thursday, Gambhir said Sooryavanshi would get a longer run when his chance arrived.

From Vaibhav’s point of view, the conversation was clear: he will have to wait for his opportunity. We know his talent and what he can do, but somebody who has been performing for the past few years will always be the first to grab the opportunity, unless it’s someone who has just joined the team. Whenever he gets his run, he will get a longer run as well. That is what Indian cricket is all about—we want competition and talent in the dressing room, but that’s how cricket goes.

The coach said Whether you’re a 15-year-old or a 30-year-old, when you have to wait for your opportunity, you have to wait for your opportunity.

Sooryavanshi was not included in the playing XI in any of the three T20Is against Afghanistan, with Sanju Samson featuring throughout the series.

We will perhaps have to compromise a bit in this ODI series against the West Indies. Gambhir said the upcoming three ODIs would allow the newcomers to showcase their talent and capabilities in the white-ball format and help expand India’s pool of players.
