Inside coach Gambhir's chat with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi over his T20I selection

Indian team manager Gautam Gambhir recently clarified why teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must remain patient regarding his entry into the primary short-format lineup. Despite the youngster displaying impressive form during recent continental matches where he posted scores of thirty-eight and fifteen, the leadership group has opted to maintain trust in established opening pairs like Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma.

Gambhir stressed that selection choices are driven entirely by internal evaluations rather than external digital platform opinions, noting that discarding proven performers after a brief rough patch would undermine squad stability following their recent global tournament victory.
