Gautam Gambhir issues verdict, says Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ‘needs to wait for opportunity’: ‘Clear conversation’

Samson cemented his standing by hitting two half-centuries against Afghanistan following an earlier slump during the tour of the United Kingdom, where he had been dropped after three quiet outings across matches against England and Ireland. While that opening allowed Sooryavanshi to make his senior debut, the youngster also struggled across three matches before being sidelined.

Gambhir termed benching Samson in England the hardest choice of his managerial tenure to date, reiterating that proven veterans with prior World Cup pedigree will receive extended backing regardless of occasional failures.
