India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi awaits T20 debut, finds comfort in father's support

Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to wait for an opportunity in India's playing eleven during the T20 series against Afghanistan, even as he enjoys the support of his father Sanjeev Suryavanshi, who has accompanied him to Delhi for the matches.

The young cricketer, often referred to as the 'Baby Boss' for his remarkable talent, has been a subject of attention during the series. While awaiting his chance to play, moments between Vaibhav and his father have provided glimpses of the support system behind the promising athlete.

Photographs from the Delhi venue have captured candid moments of the father-son duo, showing Vaibhav resting his head on his father's shoulder and the two sharing quiet moments under a blanket. These scenes underscore the family support system that often plays a crucial role in young athletes' journeys.

The 13-year-old's inclusion in India's squad for the Afghanistan T20 series marked a significant milestone in his career, making him one of the youngest players in the squad. Though yet to feature in the playing XI, his presence in the squad demonstrates the selectors' faith in his potential, and his father's presence in Delhi reflects the encouragement he continues to receive from his family during this formative phase of his cricketing career.
