India clinched a 3‑0 T20I series sweep against Afghanistan, winning the final match by 127 runs.
Coach Gautam Gambhir told reporters that the 15‑year‑old prodigy will have to wait for his opportunity in the senior side. He reminded the press that the opening spot was already taken by Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, and that age alone doesn’t make a player a first‑choice.
The win marks India’s second straight series victory and keeps the team in top form ahead of the England tour. Samson ripped two half‑centuries, while Abhishek smashed a record‑breaking 108 off 34 balls to finish the series on a high.
The next hurdle is the England series, where the same opening pair will be put to the test. Sooryavanshi remains on standby, hoping that his 151 runs and 196‑strike‑rate performance in Zimbabwe will earn him a debut when the time is right.
