Former India batter Sunil Gavaskar criticizes India’s decision to drop 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the playing XI after his highly anticipated debut. Multiple reports say the selection changes come following three matches, during which attention around Sooryavanshi was unusually high for a debutant. Gavaskar questions the rationale for the call, including remarks that invite comparisons between his treatment and his on-field presence. The reports describe the snub as coming despite the initial hype and expectations associated with Sooryavanshi’s early appearances. While the specific reasons given by selectors are not detailed in the provided accounts, the focus of the coverage is Gavaskar’s public questioning of the team management’s approach and whether the player’s role or performance justified the omission. The story is presented as a reaction to Sooryavanshi being left out after a short run in the XI, rather than as a change in selection criteria more broadly.
