3 matches, 42 runs! Vaibhav Suryavanshi flopped against England, can he still become a future superstar? Know what the experts said

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s England Struggles: 15 years in Indian cricket Vaibhav Suryavanshi There has been a tremendous discussion regarding this in the last few months. After his explosive batting in the IPL, similar performance was expected from him in international cricket, but his three innings so far on the England tour have not been as per expectations. They have scored 14, 13 and 15 runs respectively. In this way, he has 42 runs in his name in 3 matches.

However, cricket experts believe that it is too early to judge Vaibhav on the basis of just three innings. The conditions in England are counted among the toughest batting conditions in the world. Even experienced Indian batsmen have often struggled here. In such a situation, it cannot be considered right to expect immediate big performance from a mere 15 year old player.

Has the short ball become Vaibhav’s weakness?

Vaibhav made his mark in the IPL, where the pitches are friendly to the batsmen and scoring runs is relatively easy, but batting in international cricket, especially on the fast and swinging pitches of England, is a completely different challenge. This is why he will have to make many changes in his game. In this tour, his weakness has also been revealed against the short ball. His Rajasthan Royals teammate Joffra Archer dismissed him twice on bouncers.

Earlier, this weakness of Vaibhav was also discussed in the triangular series played in Sri Lanka. Experts believe that instead of playing big shots on every short ball, he will have to show patience and bat according to the conditions.

What does history say?

Cricket history tells us that many great players had humble beginnings. Sachin Tendulkar was also out on zero twice in his initial ODI matches. Despite this, he went on to create new records in world cricket. In such a situation, Vaibhav’s initial failure cannot be considered a measure of his career.

Experts also believe that difficult times make any young player mentally strong. This tour will give Vaibhav an opportunity to understand his shortcomings and work on them. This will also make them realize how big a difference there is between the level of IPL and international cricket.

Why are questions being raised regarding team selection?

However, questions are also being raised regarding team selection. Some cricket experts believe that dropping Sanju Samson, who played an important role in India winning the T20 World Cup recently, was not the right decision. He says that the environment created around wealth and external pressure had an impact on the selection. Now after the initial failure, it is expected that the team management will pay more attention to the process of preparing players in future.

Overall, this tour is definitely a test for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but this experience can also prove to be the biggest lesson towards making him a better and mature batsman in the coming years.
