'Sooryavanshi Will Have To Wait': Nayar Backs Samson, Explains Indias Selection Dilemma

New Delhi: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar believes Sanju Samsons ability to produce decisive innings after a lean run could keep young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi waiting for his opportunity in the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand. Nayar also explained why Indias team combination, particularly the need for a left-right batting pair, could influence the selection call, while backing Finn Allen to potentially challenge Abhishek Sharmas record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian. Samsons inconsistent returns have often triggered debate over his place in Indias T20I setup, with Sooryavanshi emerging as a possible alternative. However, Nayar believes the wicketkeeper-batters capacity to turn the conversation around with one substantial innings makes his selection a more complicated decision. Sanju plays with everyones emotions because he wont score runs for two matches, and everyone starts raising questions, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should play, Sanju Samson isnt capitalising on his chances, how long will we wait? And at that very moment, he will score an 80 in no time. Sanju is that kind of player who will repeatedly give you opportunities to raise questions about him and then will play a big knock, making the most of his chances. So, there will be moments when there will be talks about his place, but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will have to wait, Nayar told JioStar. Nayar said the decision would extend beyond individual performances, with team balance and the precedent set by the management also important considerations. He pointed to the potential consequences of frequent changes in selection, arguing that India must protect its team culture while ensuring younger players receive opportunities at the right time. Often, for a teams culture, if you are a coach or a captain, it is crucial to make the right decisions. If you make haphazard decisions, the impact on Vaibhav Sooryavanshis career is one thing, but the impact on team culture will be far greater. So, according to me, the decision will be, Vaibhav, wait for your time; you will also get opportunities. Maybe in a series where Sanju isnt there or is rested, he will play. But as long as there is a left-hander at number three and at the top, you will always think that a right-hander in between is necessary. So, its not so much about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson; its about having that left-right combination so that a bowler like Bracewell doesnt come and bowl out his overs in the powerplay, Nayar added. Meanwhile, Nayar identified New Zealand opener Finn Allen as a potential threat in the upcoming series, citing the conditions that favour his aggressive style of batting. Allens power-hitting could prove particularly effective on smaller grounds, where clearing the boundary can be easier. Maybe in a series where Sanju isnt there or is rested, he will play. But as long as there is a left-hander at number three and at the top, you will always think that a right-hander in between is necessary. So, its not so much about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson; its about having that left-right combination so that a bowler like Bracewell doesnt come and bowl out his overs in the powerplay, Nayar added.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed back against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskys allegations that Washington deliberately disrupted Starlink satellite internet services, reportedly affecting Ukrainian drone operations. Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews, Rubio denied that the US had ordered any slowdown in satellite internet speeds, insisting that the disruption was not deliberate and claiming that the service had been restored. However, Zelensky said the problems had not been fully resolved, contradicting Rubios understanding. The restrictions, first reported on October 14, reportedly disrupted Ukrainian drone missions amid the ongoing war with Russia. Rubio also defended Washingtons controversial diesel deal with Moscow, adding another layer to tensions surrounding US policy towards Ukraine and Russia.
