Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sachin Tendulkar: Sachin Tendulkar was also made to drink water by making him sit on the Salbhar bench, now the same story of Bihar’s Vaibhav Suryavanshi!

New Delhi: The wait for Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues unabated. After being selected in Team India, three matches have been played, but he did not get a chance in all three matches. The wait for this 15 year old ‘wonder kid’ continues. History has seen such a cruel picture before too, when a rising star was made to sit on the bench and was given water only to drink. We are talking about ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar.

Today the whole world is upset that why Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is in great form, is being made to wait so long for his international debut. But very few people know that Sachin Tendulkar also had to see such days in his career. When despite selection he was not fed for a year.

In fact, by the end of the 80s, Sachin Tendulkar’s name had started making noise in the newspapers. After making a splash in school cricket, there was talk of Sachin Tendulkar everywhere that a small child from Mumbai’s Shivaji Park was creating havoc on the field. The newspaper was filled with his articles and photographs.

In this environment, just 14-year-old Sachin Tendulkar was included in the Mumbai team for the 1987/88 domestic season. At that time, Mumbai cricket was the talk of the town. Coming into Mumbai’s playing eleven could have been said to be more difficult than playing for the Indian team. After his selection in the Mumbai team, he was kept on the bench for a whole year. Did not get a chance to play even a single match.

This wait is not easy for any player at such a young age. Many young players get frustrated during this time, but Sachin did not let himself break. He continued his hard work. He improved his game by practicing continuously in the nets and waited patiently. Finally, at the age of 15 years and 232 days, he got a chance to play his first match in Ranji Trophy for Mumbai.

Sachin had created history by scoring an unbeaten century in his debut match itself. But the story of his debut is also quite interesting. In fact, he had impressed captain Dilip Vengsarkar in the net session with the Indian team which was preparing for the Test match against New Zealand. Only after this I got a chance in the Mumbai team. Sachin, who came to bat at number 4 at Wankhede Stadium, scored unbeaten 100 runs in 129 balls and hit 14 fours during this. This position of number 4 later became his identity in Test cricket.

Today Sachin Tendulkar holds all the big records of world cricket. That small child later scored 100 international centuries. Scored more than 34 thousand international runs and was called ‘God’ of cricket. Today a similar picture is visible in the case of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Despite being selected, he is not consistently getting a place in the playing eleven. Everyone is asking the question that when the talent has been trusted then why is it not being given a chance to prove itself.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will also have to convert his wait into preparations. Sooner or later they will definitely get a chance. He will make his international debut at a younger age than Sachin Tendulkar. This wait can be long, but sometimes this wait also proves to be the first chapter of great stories.
