Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will have to wait for his India debut despite growing excitement around his selection. Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin backed the decision, saying there is currently no place in the playing XI as established openers deserve continued opportunities. Ashwin stressed that Indian cricket should avoid creating a "superstar culture" around young players and instead reward consistent performances while maintaining team balance. He urged patience, adding that Sooryavanshi's immense talent is unquestionable, but his opportunity will come naturally when the team requires it. (PC: X)
