Kapil Dev on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: 15 year old young sensation batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi is being considered as the next superstar of Indian cricket. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is often known for his explosive batting. On the basis of his excellent performance, he has confirmed his place in India’s T20 International team. However, due to senior players, Vaibhav is not getting much opportunities. He has not yet got a chance to play international cricket on Indian soil. The team management says that Vaibhav is with the team and is learning a lot by being with the seniors in the dressing room.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is often compared with Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Meanwhile, former Indian captain Kapil Dev has compared him with Vinod Kambli. Captain Kapil Dev, who won India’s first World Cup, says that he has no doubt on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s talent, but he is worried about Vaibhav. Kapil Dev says that he has seen many talented young players getting ruined after getting quick fame.
What did Kapil Dev say to Vaibhav?
Former Indian captain Kapil Dev said that it is not appropriate to speculate about the future of Vaibhav Suryavanshi right now. His lifestyle will have to be monitored for at least 2 years. Kapil Dev said that after getting the money his life will change and his thinking will also change. After this, it remains to be seen how he takes things and how honest he is able to remain for his game. Kapil Dev said that it is still very early. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has talent, but there have been many players in cricket who came with a lot of talent. Still he got lost. He further said, ‘Look at Vinod Kambli. What shall we say about it? Vaibhav is 15 years old. Give him 3 more years, then we will talk.
Performance doesn’t matter for 2 years
Kapil Dev further said that when Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s lifestyle changes, his thinking will also change. Then we will know how they will look in the next 2 years. This is more important than watching their performance. Let us tell you that before Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Prithvi Shaw had also joined the Indian team at a very young age. However, he could not handle his success and fame. Prithvi Shaw remained embroiled in controversies due to lack of discipline and bad habits. Because of this he was out of the team. At present, his return to Team India seems almost difficult. However, he is playing domestic cricket.
Will Vaibhav get a chance in the second T20?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is currently playing in the India-West Indies T20 series. He was not given a chance in the first T20 against West Indies. Now there is talk of his return in the second T20. Sanju Samson is struggling with bad form. In such a situation, Vaibhav can be given a chance in the second T20 match.
