India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer urged patience for teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, describing the opener as a "very silent guy" off the field who becomes "very destructive" on it. Ahead of the five-match T20I series against the West Indies, Iyer engages the youngster about life away from cricket.
Sooryavanshi remains in India's 15-man squad for the next T20 World Cup, though Iyer stressed no rush needed. Established World Cup-winning openers occupy the top order, so his opportunity arrives in due course.

Iyer, who led the side to Asian Games gold, aims to carry that momentum into the Windies series to seal it early. He said the position behind senior players reflects squad composition rather than a lack of faith.
