The Indian Premier League has been getting more thrillers now, and the reason is young bloods like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Mukul Chaudhary, Priyansh Arya, and Prabhsimran Singh. Youngsters are leading from the front in this season, and they are hitting bowlers for fun. We are talking about one of the most dangerous youngsters in IPL history so far. He is none other than Vaibhav Sooryvanshi. Vaibhav, who has played in this league, is absolute carnage. Now, Krish Srikanth has made a shocking claim for Vaibhav, which is garnering attention throughout the internet.
Why does Vaibhav become the topic of debate?
Senior player Srikkanth asked Selector Ajeet Agarkar to include Vaibhav in the senior teams squad immediately, as he is on fire in this tournament since the first match and, hitting bowlers for fun which led to a nationwide debate on Vaibhav’s hard hitting. The way this young blood is playing that’s blown everyone’s mind. The most interesting thing about Vaibhav’s batting is targeting the main fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which makes him so lethal at the age of 15.
Shocking claim by Srikkanth
Kris Srikkanth isn’t just impressed; he’s calling for an immediate national call-up for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The former skipper believes the 15-year-old is ready for the big stage right now, suggesting the BCCI should include him in the next T20 series and even the World Cup squad, not necessarily to start every game, but to soak in the atmosphere of the elite level.
Calling him the future Sachin Tendulkar
Drawing a parallel to when he led a teenage Sachin Tendulkar in 1989, Srikkanth noted that Sooryavanshi shares that same fearless DNA. He pointed to the youngster’s total lack of nerves when facing giants like Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood. According to Srikkanth, any kid who can dispatch the world’s best bowlers for six on the first ball isn’t just a prospect; he’s potentially the next legendary figure in Indian cricket.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s IPL career
