The 15-year-old opener has been asked to ‘wait’ for his opportunity as the competition at the top remains extremely fierce. The entire Indian cricketing ecosystem is trying to solve the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi riddle. With the likes of Abhishek Sharma , Sanju Samson , and Ishan Kishan doing well with the bat, head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Shreyas Iyer have had no option but to put Sooryavanshi on the bench. However, former India batter Aakash Chopra has offered a solution to the problem, but he claims that no one is in agreement with him.
Former India batter Aakash Chopra has offered a solution to solving the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi-sized problem in India’s playing XI. But, the Gautam Gambhir-led team management doesn’t seem to be keen.
Because a place isn’t being created for him, “Vaibhav Sooryavanshi isn’t getting chances.
To be fair, he can play only in place of Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, or Ishan Kishan,” Chopra said in the video. Speaking of Tilak, who has had to play various roles for the Indian team, Chopra said that his performances as a finisher have been quite reliable. In a video on his YouTube channel , Chopra responded to a query asking if Sooryavanshi could be accommodated in the team by dropping Tilak Varma . However, he is not in agreement at all. For him, there are only three players Sooryavanshi can replace: Abhishek, Samson, and Ishan. In whose place should you play him? Hence, Chopra does not feel there should even be a discussion around Tilak’s contribution to the team. “The World Cup didn’t start well, but after that, ever since he became a finisher, he has done a good job, whether you see the performances in the Asian Games or now. The fact is that he has been doing really well in the middle order and the lower-middle order. So, I feel shooting arrows at Tilak Varma is not right,” Chopra observed.
