[PICTURES] Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The youngest cricketer ever to be chosen to play in the IPL

Definitely nowhere close to Abhishek. He is a bit of a hack and is too pudgy.

Might get better with more IPL experience but he is nowhere close to international level
 
I was talking about Abhishek not suitable for tests like yuvi

Agree. Vaibhav seems more compact
yes Abhishek won't be in the reckoning for Tests for sure. Suryavasnhi is the closest to Sehwag. Jaiswal can be aggressive in tests. But he can also bide time when needed. But Suryavanshi mindset is exactly similar to Sehwag mindset. Aggression. Also good defense across the formats. He is not going to be your 50 average guy in tests, ODIs and 40 averages in T20s. For T20 there are so many hitters you can choose from. It is harder to find test class batsmen.
 
I’m glad he finally got to play against a high quality pace attack of Pakistan Only in such contests can we truly evaluate his potential. He played some crispy shots against Pakistan and maintained his dominant form.

People don’t understand how important it is even for Indian talent to be constantly put against Pakistan. It’s served as a great filter over the years. Thing is with rising salaries players are now too confident to play white nations against whom there is no inferiority complex anymore that used to exist once.

But Pakistan poses a unique mental challenge that no other team poses to Indian cricketers. They challenge the mental toughness of our cricketers. I was super glad when they made it challenging for Abhishek Sharma, Gill, Tilak recently in the Asia Cup. That was a much needed challenge for them.
 
He is likely to debut after World T20 2026. Maybe against Afghanistan when we play 3 T20 against them in September. :kp
