India coach Gautam Gambhir says batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must be patient as he waits for more chances to play. According to reports, Sooryavanshi is told his role currently includes acting as a backup option, rather than being a first-choice selection.

Both outlets link the message to Sooryavanshi’s playing time during India’s recent tour and series in Sri Lanka. He has appeared behind other players in the batting order and selection pecking order, including Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. In this context, Gambhir’s comments frame patience as necessary while the team balances form, conditions, and the roles of different batters.

While both sources focus on the same core point—Gambhir advising Sooryavanshi to remain patient—the reporting differs only in wording. One outlet emphasizes the coach’s guidance, while the other reiterates that Sooryavanshi has been used in a backup capacity behind named teammates.
