India, Oct. 13 -- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's absence from India's playing XI in the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies has sparked criticism from his childhood coach, Manish Ojha. The 15-year-old has been left on the bench for the first three games of the five-match series, with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson preferred as India's opening pair. Frustrated by the selection decisions, Ojha has questioned head coach Gautam Gambhir and the team management, accusing them of adopting a "dictatorship" style of functioning. He believes the repeated changes in India's plans have left the young batter waiting for a genuine opportunity to prove himself at the international level.
