‘He has to wait’: Gambhir’s message to Sooryavanshi as teenage sensation watches on

The wait continues for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.India head coach Gautam Gambhir made it clear that the 15-year-old batting sensation will have to be patient for his next opportunity in the senior side, despite the excitement surrounding his emergence and the clamour to see him in action on home soil.Sooryavanshi did not feature in any of India's three T20Is against Afghanistan, with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma retained as the opening combination throughout the series. India completed a 3-0 sweep with a commanding 127-run victory in the final match in New Delhi on Thursday.Gambhir said the decision was based on the performances of players who had already established themselves, rather than Sooryavanshi's age or potential."From Vaibhav’s point of view, it was a very clear conversation that he will have to wait for his opportunity.
