Shreyas and coach Gambhir surrounded after the defeat, told why Orange Cap winner Vaibhav Suryavanshi was kept out of the playing eleven.

Shreyas Iyer Statement Cricket News: The first match of the two-match T20 series between India and Ireland was played at the Civil Service Cricket Club. In this match, when captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and came out to bowl first, fans were hopeful that 15-year-old young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi would get a chance in the playing eleven. However, when the list of final-11 players came out, the name of this explosive left-handed batsman was missing in it.

Sachin’s historical record could have been broken

If Vaibhav Suryavanshi had got his debut cap in this match, he would have become the youngest player to play at the international level for the Indian senior cricket team. With this, he would have also broken the historical record of the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar of making his debut at the youngest age of 37 years. But due to not getting a chance in this match, his wait has become a little longer.

Captain Iyer gave clarification after the defeat

After the flop of big players in the first T20 match and the first defeat at the hands of Ireland, questions were raised about not playing Vaibhav. On this, captain Shreyas Iyer gave clarification and said, ‘Vaibhav is a very brilliant and talented player, but unfortunately he could not play in this match. There are many experienced players in our team, who have shown excellent performance for India in the last few series.”

Trust in the pair of Abhishek and Samson

Captain Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir clearly said about the young player that the fans will have to wait a little more, Vaibhav will definitely be given a chance when the time comes. He said that at this time we could not suddenly break the opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. The team is fully supporting the cricketers who have been performing consistently throughout the season.
