Sunil Gavaskar has advised the BCCI that Vaibhav Suryavanshi should be given a chance by rotating him on the Ireland tour.
The team already has three established openers in the form of Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma. Now with Vaibhav's inclusion, the question arises as to how this young talent will get an opportunity. Will he have to sit on the bench, or will an experienced player be dropped?
Former Indian captain and legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has tried to answer this difficult question. He has given an important suggestion to the team management.
Sunil Gavaskar believes that a talented player like Vaibhav Suryavanshi cannot be kept on the bench. He has suggested a rotation policy to solve this problem, which can be tried during the Ireland tour.
Team India is scheduled to play two matches in Ireland before the 5-match T20 series against England. According to Gavaskar, this tour is a great opportunity for experimentation.
When Gavaskar was asked how Suryavanshi would get a chance with 4 openers in the squad, he outlined a clear strategy.
He said, "On the Ireland tour, Vaibhav Suryavanshi should be given a chance to open with Abhishek Sharma in one match and with Sanju Samson in another."
According to this formula, Ishan Kishan can bat at number three, i.e., one-down. This will maintain the team's balance and also give Vaibhav experience in international cricket.
This suggestion from Gavaskar could prove to be very helpful for the team management. It will give the young player a chance to showcase his talent without any pressure. India is set to play the first match against Ireland on June 26 and the second on June 28.
