India head coach Gautam Gambhir says 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi needs patience before getting chances in the senior team. Gambhir frames the selection approach as prioritizing established players who deliver consistently, with opportunities for emerging talent coming when they align with team needs.
Both reports also reference Gambhir’s decision-making around Sanju Samson. Times of India says Gambhir considered Samson’s exclusion from the England series a difficult call, while NDTV adds that Samson is now “roaring back to form.” In that context, both outlets note Samson’s returns and highlight how performances by other contenders are influencing the competition for places.
The articles further mention that the team’s batting approach emphasizes reliability, including the use of the World Cup-winning opening combination for consistency. Times of India adds that Abhishek Sharma reaches a record score, and pairs these updates with Sooryavanshi’s continued observation rather than immediate senior inclusion.
