Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fear continues! Before the T20 series, Zimbabwe captain said, ‘Within 2-3 matches this 15 year old boy…’

Young Indian batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s recent tour of England was not as expected. 15-year-old Vaibhav could score only 14, 13 and 15 runs in three T20 matches, while the Indian team suffered a 0-4 defeat in the series. On two occasions he became the victim of Joffra Archer’s short-pitched balls.

However, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza believes that it is too early to assess a player at such a young age. Speaking to ‘GeoStar’, Raza said that Vaibhav has amazing talent, and if he gets the right environment and guidance, he can become one of the biggest names in world cricket in the future.

Sikandar Raza (Captain, Zimbabwe) said, ‘Playing international cricket at the age of 15 is a huge achievement in itself. It would not be right to judge a player on the basis of just two-three matches. There are many experienced players around Vaibhav. If he is guided properly, he can become one of the best players of his generation.

Return to Harare: Where the memorable inning was played

Vaibhav is now preparing to once again enter the field of Harare, where his record has been excellent. On the same ground in January this year, in the final of the Under-19 World Cup, he made India the champion by playing a stormy innings of 175 runs in just 80 balls against England. In the absence of Sanju Samson, it is expected that Vaibhav will get continuous opportunities in the top order in the T20 series against Zimbabwe.

Raza further said, ‘Vaibhav has performed well for the India Under-19 team in the last one year. Making an international debut at such a young age is no mean feat; In today’s times such examples are rarely seen. He is a special player, and now it will be very important to see how his career is handled going forward.

‘It is wrong to consider India as a unilateral claimant’

Sikandar Raza clearly rejected the notion that the Indian team is the only contender for victory in this series. He believes that both the teams have equal chances of winning and the match will be very exciting.

Speaking to Star Sports, he said, ‘Zimbabwe is continuously playing good cricket. I am sure that this series will be a very tough competition.

Zimbabwe has challenged many strong teams in the last few months. February T20 World Cup: Made a big upset by defeating Australia by 23 runs, due to which the Australian team was out of the group stage. This year it has also won against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Raza, who has played 136 T20 International matches, said, ‘Both the teams have equal chances of victory. India plays aggressive cricket, and if their batsmen get into rhythm then the match can change in an instant. But there is a risk in this aggressive style, if they do not get a good start and are not able to score big, then the opposition team has every chance to make a comeback.
