Before the T20 series against England, some fans are making an issue as to why Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not being given a chance. Instead of giving him opportunities, why is he being made a water boy? Now R Ashwin has broken his silence on this issue. Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that since when did giving water to Team India players become a small task? He himself has been carrying drinks in his career, everyone in the team starts like this. Ashwin asked that giving water to Vaibhav should not be an issue.
What did Ashwin say on Vaibhav Suryavanshi
R Ashwin said that now Vaibhav Suryavanshi Will have to give some time. Considering the kind of performance this player has done in the IPL, he cannot be kept on the bench for long. Ashwin said that Suryavanshi is a special player but giving water is not a dishonorable act. He said, ‘Why do people consider carrying water bad? When did the style of cricket change? In 1990-2000, I was a ball boy in Chennai and I enjoyed serving water to cricketers. When did it become a common thing to run on the field to give water bottles to Indian players?
Will Suryavanshi get a chance in England T20 series?
Every big player has to wait for the opportunity and the same is happening with Suryavanshi. He was not given his debut in both the matches of the Ireland series and now it is not known whether this player will get a chance in the first T20 against England or not. However, it is difficult for this to happen because captain Shreyas Iyer has already said that every player playing in Team India has come into the team only after scoring runs and players who have won the T20 World Cup will be given preference. However, Ashwin believes that it is special for a player like Suryavanshi to sit outside and watch the match. He said, ‘Let Suryavanshi help the team, bring water, he will learn a lot from that experience. Great players are not made overnight. Once Vaibhav starts playing, he will hardly ever be dropped from the team, it can happen, as happened with Sachin too. Staying out of the playing eleven is also a role.
