Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: India's domestic cricket has started from today. Rail ball cricket has started in India. 2 matches started from today in Duleep Trophy 2026-27. Today the quarter final matches between East Zone vs North East Zone and North Zone vs West Zone have started. During this time, India's 15-year-old left-handed batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi also took the field from East Zone. In his first red ball cricket match of Duleep Trophy, he faced only 6 balls and scored only 8 runs with a stormy strike rate of 133.33 while hitting 4 fours.

After this inning, questions are arising in the minds of many Indian cricket fans whether Vaibhav Suryavanshi is only a player of white ball cricket. Can't he be as successful in red ball cricket as he is in white ball cricket? Now this worry of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's fans has been removed by one of India's great Test cricketers, Rahul Dravid. Rahul has given a big statement on the test cricket future of Vebhav Suryavanshi. Rahul Dravid has seen Vaibhav Suryavanshi very closely in Rajasthan Royals as a coach. Let us know what he said while talking to ESPN Cricinfo.

Rahul Dravid gave great advice to Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Rahul Dravid said, 'I think you always have to strike that balance and it is great that Vaibhav is getting the experience of playing white-ball cricket in India through the IPL, but he also has time to go back to the Indian domestic system and play red-ball cricket and further his red-ball career. We all want to see Test cricket alive. We all want to see Test cricket growing and we need players like him so that they can play all formats of the game.

Dravid inspired Vaibhav to play test match

Rahul Dravid further said, 'He probably has not played as much red-ball cricket as white-ball cricket. He is only 15 years old and I think you have to give him some time and be patient with him. Obviously, he has been very successful from the beginning. But he will go through his ups and downs and I think people have to be patient with him. Hopefully, someday if he does well and performs as well as he does in white-ball cricket, he can become a red-ball player for India and that would be so exciting for the world game as well.
