Abhishek and Sanju Samson were Gambhir’s preferred combination at the top of the order throughout the Afghanistan series and the duo were in fine form as they finished as the two leading run scorers from both sides across the three-game series. It meant Sooryavanshi had to bide his time and watch on as his two more experienced teammates dominated against Afghanistan and Gambhir suggested this will continue for some time and the teenage batting sensation would have wait longer for more opportunities. “From Vaibhav’s point of view, it was a very clear conversation that he will have to wait for his opportunity,” Gambhir said. “We know the kind of talent he has and what he can do, but someone who has been performing for the last two to three years will always be ahead of someone who has just entered the team. “Whenever he gets his run, he will get a longer run as well. “That is what Indian cricket is all about—we want competition and talent in the dressing room, but that’s how cricket goes. “Whether you’re a 15-year-old or a 30-year-old, when you have to wait for your opportunity, you have to wait for your opportunity.”
