Sooryavanshi has to be patient, says India coach Gambhir

India's cricket coach Gautam Gambhir has reassured 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi that he will eventually get his chance to break into the national team. Sooryavanshi, who scored the highest IPL run in the current season, made his international debut against England in July but has not been able to make an impact in the limited-overs arena.

Despite scoring two half-centuries against Zimbabwe later that month, Sooryavanshi has been kept out of the squad by regular performers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Gambhir, speaking after India's 127-run victory over Afghanistan in a three-match T20 series, emphasized that players of all ages must be patient when waiting for their opportunity.

He further stated that Sooryavanshi's potential will be recognized once he secures a regular slot in the side, adding that the team values competition and talent in the dressing room. Sooryavanshi will participate in India's Asian Games campaign and will play a one-off T20 against Japan on Tuesday before the Asiad quarter-final on September 28.
