Indian cricket fans were waiting for the international debut of Vaibhav Suryavanshi after his selection in the team on the tour of Ireland. Coach Gautam Gambhir did not do this. The experienced batting line-up they fielded betrayed them. It would have been better if the coach had given up his stubbornness and given young sensation Vaibhav a chance to play.
Did Team India suffer because of Gautam’s stubbornness? 1 decision could have changed the outcome
New Delhi. The Indian cricket team had to return in shame against Ireland. For the first time in T20 International, Team India lost to this underestimated team. Ireland not only won the first match but also made a clean sweep of the series by defeating them in both the matches. After such a shameful defeat, the same discussion is happening everywhere. After all, why was Vaibhav Suryavanshi not given a chance on the Ireland tour? Was it Gautam Gambhir’s stubbornness that pushed the team towards such a shameful defeat?
The historic series defeat against Ireland in Belfast cannot be considered a reason for keeping Vaibhav Suryavanshi out. However, it cannot be denied that if he had got a chance to play, the result could have been different. This result simply brought to light the flaws that were already there. Generally, India uses such series to give opportunities to young and new players. So that they can be given a chance at the international level without any pressure.

Did the team lose due to Gautam Gambhir’s stubbornness?
The whole world and many former cricketers were talking about giving Vaibhav Suryavanshi a chance in the Ireland series. Coach Gambhir did not give a chance to young Vaibhav Suryavanshi even against the number 11 team in ICC T20. Indian team’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had said before the start of the series, it would be completely wrong to sit out another player who is scoring just to give a chance to one player. What the batsmen who scored runs did is in front of everyone. In such a situation, it was necessary to give a chance to a young man in top form. It is wrong to underestimate Ireland but it is not wrong to try glory against a lower ranked team.

Could Vaibhav Suryavanshi change the outcome of the match?
From the form in which Vaibhav Suryavanshi is going at the moment, it can be said that the decision to give him a chance to debut would not have been wrong. If we look at his last 10 matches, he is scoring runs in almost every match. He scored more than 700 runs in the Indian Premier League. Fifty off 11 balls set a new record in the final of the Sri Lanka Tri Series. He has four 90 plus scores in his name in the last 10 innings. If Vaibhav plays even 5 overs then the match becomes one-sided. In such a situation, if he had got a chance against Ireland, the result could have been different.
