India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak says the constant hype and calls for teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to be included are not helpful for his development. All three reports present Kotak’s message as one of patience, suggesting that “must play” talk can place undue pressure on a young player.
The outlets frame Kotak’s comments in slightly different ways, but the core point stays consistent: he argues that louder public demand for selection does not necessarily benefit either the player or the team. ESPN Cricinfo adds a further detail, saying Kotak is excited about Naman Dhir’s potential and that Sooryavanshi is still learning even when not playing.
Overall, the coverage focuses less on match results or selection decisions and more on coaching perspective—how young talent should be integrated—highlighting concerns about hype rather than celebrating immediate inclusion.
