Young Talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi Receives Praise and Caution
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricketer, became the center of attention after his incredible century against the Gujarat Titans. His play, with a number of sixes, amazed fans and experts. But, former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar gave a word of caution. Gavaskar opined that although Vaibhav has tremendous potential, he is still learning and should not be hyped up too early. Highlighting the aspect of improvement, Gavaskar cautioned that early praise might force young players to commit errors.
Gavaskar's Foretelling Proves To Be Right in Mumbai vs Rajasthan Match
While playing Thursday's match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians, Gavaskar talked about Vaibhav's performance with the media. He spoke about the teenager's century against Australia in the Youth Test and accepted his potential. Gavaskar pointed out that seasoned bowlers could take advantage of his aggressive nature, particularly at the start of the innings. His prophecy came true—Vaibhav was out for zero on the second ball he played, trying a big shot off Deepak Chahar. Picked on from the ball, the batsman had to leave the field quickly.
