'Won't be right': Run-scorer should not be dropped just to play Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, says India coach

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may be on the verge of becoming India’s youngest international cricketer, but batting coach Sitanshu Kotak made it clear that the teenager’s opportunity should not come at the cost of a player who is already performing.India begin their two-match T20I series against Ireland on Friday, and if Sooryavanshi is picked in the playing XI, the 15-year-old will become the youngest player to represent India. The team management, led by captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir, faces a selection call ahead of the opener. One option could be to bring Sooryavanshi into the side in place of Abhishek Sharma and have him open alongside Sanju Samson or vice versa.Speaking on the eve of the match, Kotak praised the teenager’s ability but said team selection must also be fair to players who have already been scoring runs.“Vaibhav is very talented, there is no doubt. And the way he has batted in IPL and all the other games, there is no need to tell that he has got a lot of natural abilities. Because in IPL he has faced Jofra, a lot of quick bowlers, a lot of experienced bowlers. And it seems that nothing is bothering him. So he is obviously an extraordinary talent,” Kotak said, as quoted by news agency PTI.“Today evening, captain and head coach will decide about the team. And if he plays great, if he doesn’t play also for me, that is great because he is part of Indian team. And I am sure that he will get his dues and his opportunities. So I don’t think that just to give him an opportunity, we should drop someone who has already been scoring runs.“That also won’t be right. I think there is a very thin line between trying to give somebody an opportunity and you are being unfair to some other player,” said Kotak.Kotak said the depth of talent in Indian cricket has made selection increasingly difficult and admitted that even selectors have a tough job.“If you ask me, there is so much talent in India that even the selectors have a headache. Honestly saying, I don’t have such a big headache because I am not the head coach and the captain. But sometimes it is tough.”“But we also have to remember one thing that those who are already performing, they should never be ignored, as I believe. Those who are already scoring, winning games for the team. BCCI‘s structure is such that players will keep coming,” said Kotak when asked how difficult it is to leave out players from a World Cup-winning squad.

When did Ariana Grande date Ricky Alvarez? Singer changes “Thank u, Next” lyric written for her ex at the ‘eternal sunshine’ tour in Austin

On June 24, Ariana Grande surprised fans by changing the lyrics to her song, Thank u, Next. The Grammy-winning songstress modified the line which seemingly refers to her ex-boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez.

For the unversed, Grande reportedly started dating her former backup dancer, Ricky Alvarez, in 2015. The pair were in a relationship for one year before splitting in 2016.

While Ariana Grande was mostly tight-lipped about her relationship with Alvarez, she was once asked about the same during a 2016 interview with Billboard.

“We’re happy. I’m a very happy girl. I have a healthy life right now, and I think that’s all anyone cares to know. The end,” she had said at that time.

According to a report by E! News, Ariana Grande had initiated the breakup. There was no hint of disloyalty, but the duo seemingly “found it difficult to make it work.” The report also stated that the two were friends after the breakup.

During her recent Eternal Sunshine concert at the Moody Center in Austin, Grande tweaked a line of her song, Thank u, next, which was seemingly dedicated to Alvarez.

“Wrote some songs about Ricky…now they still kinda slap,” she sang, which got the attention of the fans as the original line was, “Wrote some songs about Ricky…Now I listen and laugh”

Released in 2018, Thank u, Next is the lead single from Ariana Grande’s fifth studio album of the same name. As per several reports, the song is an ode to Grande’s past relationships and was released days after her breakup with her ex-fiance, Pete Davidson.

It received acclaim from both fans and critics, debuting atop Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, it was certified eight-times platinum and was included in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time during their 2021 revision.

The Eternal Sunshine Tour is Ariana Grande’s fifth concert tour to promote her seventh studio album of the same name. The tour consists of 41 shows and is scheduled to end at the O2 Arena in London on September 1, 2026.

Ariana Grande first dropped hints of The Eternal Sunshine Tour while appearing in a March 2024 episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast. The songstress explained that she would love to “trickle in some shows in between the two Wicked movies.” Ariana Grande described it as a “mini sampling of shows.”
