Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
Teenage star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was set to make his debut from the time he was named in the Indian squad, said batting coach Sitanshu Kotak on Monday, asserting that there wasn't anything specific that the team management was working on to prepare the young batting sensation.
At 15 years and 99 days, Sooryavanshi became the youngest Indian ever to play international cricket when he was named in the playing eleven for the second T20I against England last week. "He was set to debut from the point he came into the team; there is no such thing that he was ready [for his debut only] in the last match," Kotak told reporters on the eve of the third T20I against England. "For us, it was all about his game, his instincts and the way he plays, and the way he has played all along to get till this point, he should continue playing that," Kotak added.
Meanwhile, selectors left out Sanju Samson from India's squad for the three T20Is in Zimbabwe. India will play three T20s on July 23, 25 and 27 in Harare.
