Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remained sitting on the bench in Ireland… Wait for international cap extended, will debut in England?

New Delhi. The wait for the international debut of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, one of the most rising and young stars of Indian cricket, has become a little longer for the fans. Even in the second match of the current T20 series being played against Ireland, when the playing eleven of the Indian team was announced, Vaibhav’s name was not included in it. For the second consecutive match, he had to sit on the bench, which has given rise to new discussions in the cricket circles. However, the courage of this young batsman has not been defeated, and now all eyes are on India’s historic tour of England starting from July 1. It is believed that Vaibhav can get his first international cap on the fast and seaming pitches of England.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who comes from Bihar, has impressed the selectors with his aggressive batting in domestic cricket and at the junior level. When he was included in the squad for the Ireland tour, there were speculations that he would be tried as an opener or top-order batsman. But international cricket has its own different strategies. The Indian team management is currently taking the field with a fixed combination keeping in mind the upcoming big tournaments. Due to the presence of experienced players and the already settled opening pair in the team, Vaibhav could not get a place in the starting eleven. The captain and coach believed that it was important to provide continuity to the senior players already playing on foreign pitches. Despite this, the atmosphere of the dressing room and spending time with senior players is proving to be a great learning experience for 15-year-old Vaibhav.

Will there be a new dawn in ‘Cradle of Cricket’?
The tour of Ireland is now going to be a thing of the past and the next stop of the Indian team is England. India’s tour of England officially starts from 1st July. Cricket pundits believe that for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, this tour can prove to be the biggest turning point in his career. The conditions in England have always been challenging for the batsmen, where the ball swings in the air and seams rapidly after being hit. In such a situation, the team may be in dire need of a batsman with technique and fearless approach like Vaibhav.

X-factor in white ball cricket
Vaibhav has the amazing ability to take advantage of the power play and play on the front foot against fast bowlers. On English pitches, if the ball is tackled properly in the initial overs, it becomes easier to score runs there. Team management is always looking for a strong left and right hand combination. Vaibhav fits perfectly into this equation.
