Published On 18 Sep 202618 Sep 2026<\/p>\n

India coach \u200cGautam Gambhir said Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will have to \u2060wait for his \u2060chance to break into the side after he left the 15-year-old prodigy on the sidelines of \u2060their three-match Twenty20 series sweep against Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi, who was the highest scorer<\/a> in this year\u2019s Indian Premier League, made his international debut against \u200cEngland in July, but the top-order batter failed to make an impact as the hosts dominated India<\/a> in the T20 series.<\/p>\n

He scored two fifties against Zimbabwe<\/a> in Harare later that month but has not played for India since.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re a 15-year-old or a 30-year-old, when \u2060you have to wait for your \u2060opportunity, you have to wait for your opportunity,\u201d Gambhir told reporters after the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the kind of talent he has and what he \u2060can do, but someone who has been performing for the last two to three \u2060years will always be ahead of \u2060someone who has just entered the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi will travel to Nagoya for India\u2019s Asian Games campaign, with a one-off T20 against hosts Japan set \u200cfor Tuesday before the Asiad quarterfinal on September 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever he gets his run, he will get a longer run \u200cas \u200cwell \u2026 We want competition and talent in the dressing room,\u201d Gambhir added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vaibhav Sooryavanshi told to be patient after playing back up to Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson in Sri…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":774767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1487,1721,308,217,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-774766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-asia","tag-cricket","tag-india","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=774766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/774767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=774766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=774766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=774766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
