India Coach Gautam Gambhir Advises Patience to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

India cricket coach Gautam Gambhir has urged batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to be patient after he was once again overlooked for selection. Gambhir emphasized that consistent performers over the past two to three years have an edge over newcomers, underscoring the competitive nature of the team.

Gambhir acknowledged Sooryavanshi's talent but pointed out that waiting for opportunities is part of the game, whether a player is 15 or 30 years old. He said, "We know the kind of talent he has and what he can do, but someone who has been performing for the last two to three years will always be ahead of someone who has just entered the team." The coach also expressed his own ambition, stating, "My job is to win trophies." The Indian team is preparing for the Asian Games campaign, which includes a one-off T20 match against hosts Japan before the quarter-final on September 28.
