How you treat your players, how you build a young team is important. If that’s the way forward, then the way forward is to change everyone (the leadership). He said we’re going to take the best way forward. If you’re willing to give up players based on their performance, the same criteria should apply Gautam Gambhirthe same standards should apply to captains. You said the players were not performing well, but what about your performance? “Sooryavanshi was included in the squad after Sanju Samson, the man of the match in this year’s T20 World Cup, failed to score in three consecutive innings.

Is this your best way forward? What was this interview? If you think Sanju Samson is the best then you should stay with him. Why bring in Vaibhav and then drop him? Why ruin his future? You are all destroying his confidence. When Sachin Tendulkar made his debut as a 16-year-old, I told him ‘You will not be dropped in this tour.’ You play without fear. ““Srikanth said the current leadership should have shown the same faith in Suryavanshi instead of dumping him after just three games.“Shouldn’t Gambhir and Shreyas have given such confidence to Sooryavanshi? It’s not fair. I am very disturbed by the way they have treated Vaibhav Sooryavanshi,” he said.
