With his IPL run drawing major attention, former India captain Anil Kumble has urged patience, insisting that the youngster should not be pushed into an artificial timetable.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Anil Kumble says Sooryavanshi\u2019s path to India selection should not be hurried despite his standout IPL performances.<\/li>\n<li>Kumble believes the teenager is \u201cdoing all the right things\u201d and is showing encouraging signs.<\/li>\n<li>The former spinner cautioned that asking a young player to target an India call-up within a short window can create unnecessary pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Kumble highlighted that Sooryavanshi still has plenty of time on his side for development.<\/li>\n<li>He added that selection interest will remain high as long as Sooryavanshi\u2019s batting keeps impressing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Kumble\u2019s patience message for Sooryavanshi<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on the growing debate around Sooryavanshi\u2019s India prospects, Kumble suggested that the answer to the \u201cwhen\u201d question largely comes down to the player himself. \u201cThe player himself probably answers that question,\u201d he said, pointing to how performance and progression determine timing in elite cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Kumble also drew parallels with Sachin Tendulkar, recalling how the batting icon forced his way into the national team as a teenager by delivering consistent displays in the late 1980s. In that context, the message was not that Sooryavanshi should wait indefinitely, but that rapid advancement should be earned rather than scheduled.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Kumble believes time is on his side<\/h2>\n<p>Kumble acknowledged that Sooryavanshi is already moving in the right direction. He noted that the youngster is \u201cdoing all the right things,\u201d and argued that it would be unrealistic to impose a specific deadline for an India call-up. \u201cAt this point in time, it\u2019s a bit of pressure on a young lad to say, \u2018I want you to play for India in two months\u2019 time,\u2019\u201d Kumble said.<\/p>\n<p>He then underlined the key advantage of youth: Sooryavanshi has time to learn, adapt, and keep building his game without the stress of immediate expectations. \u201cEven 10 years later, he\u2019s going to be 25,\u201d Kumble remarked, emphasising long-term development over instant results.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating that there is no universal timetable in cricket, Kumble said players can break through at different moments and still go on to make a meaningful impact. He expressed confidence that Sooryavanshi\u2019s performances will keep him firmly in the selectors\u2019 sights.<\/p>\n<h2>A close watch on the India radar<\/h2>\n<p>Kumble\u2019s final assessment was that Sooryavanshi\u2019s next chapter could arrive in different ways\u2014soon or after more seasoning. \u201cFor Vaibhav, it could be this year, next year, or maybe a couple of years later. But the way he is batting, he\u2019s certainly someone the selectors will be watching closely,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>As the IPL continues to shape careers and push young talent toward higher honours, the debate around Sooryavanshi\u2019s India debut remains open\u2014while Kumble\u2019s stance is clear: let the performances lead, and let the youngster\u2019s progress unfold at the right pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s next step have taken over conversations online: when will the teenage leg-spinner batter make his
