Ashwin Advocates Patience for Sooryavanshi Amid Selection Debate
Ravichandran Ashwin has called for patience regarding the young cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, advising fans not to place excessive expectations on him early in his career. He suggested that if Ishan Kishan is fit to return for the next T20I against New Zealand, Sooryavanshi should make way for Sanju Samson at the top of the batting order.
Sooryavanshi recently made a notable impact in the third T20I, scoring 45 runs off 19 balls and forming a record 133-run opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma. Ashwin praised Sooryavanshi's talent, noting his impressive performances during the IPL and expressing optimism for his future in cricket.
Despite Sooryavanshi's potential, Ashwin stressed the importance of allowing the teenager to develop without the pressure of high expectations. He reflected on his own early experiences in cricket, emphasizing that young players should be allowed to enjoy the game without undue scrutiny.
