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

In 5 years times we will know where these kids are. Abhishek sharma was merely a bowling all rounder batting at 6 or 7 in 2018 batch. Prithvi shaw was his captain as opener. Look where Prithvi shaw is where Abhishek is. So you never know who will develop how fast.
 
Suryavanshi and Ayush Mathare have talent but they need to learn how to play cricket in both short and long formats. Blind slogging won’t work every time. all U-19 players should focus on domestic tournament .

After taking Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s wicket, Pakistani bowler Ali Raza showed aggression.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi responded with a gesture, implying, “You’re not even equal to the shoes on my feet.

And Vaibhav Suryavanshi might have impressed us, but in the U-19 Asia Cup, he mostly performed against weaker teams- failed to deliver against Pakistan twice. Again! scored runs, but mostly outside pressure situations. Once again, he couldn’t step up in a big game like the final...

That's a normal reaction from a bowler after getting a big wicket. :inti

India batters develop quicker.
 
Alot of talk going on about this adult pretending to be a kid. He has hit a few quick milestones against weaker teams, but considering that he is faking his age, its no surprise he is dominating against weaker teams.

But against Pakistan, each time this guy has failed.

Is he really that good, or just an overhyped player who has done massive age fudging?
What makes you say he is older?
 
He hasnt performed to expectations but still is an outstanding talent.Needs to play the ball on merit.

350 chase template was mastered by Dhawan/Rohit/Kohli. I don't think these kids have that level of maturity.
 
Australia is defending champion dude in under-19 world cup. they beat pakistan in semi and India in final
pak and ind have had super weak under 19 teams recently. i dont think anyone from that squad is close to pak international selection, dont know about india.

India yet made it to final. But that was a weak team i agree. This unit is slightly better in the batting. But bowling is worse than 2024 batch. Tey have to address that.

All three of those got pasted in a u19 final but look what they eventually did. I wouldnt look at this side so pessimistically. They have a system now and it will chug along and prepare these players. Many of our will just vanish and in a few years many kids here will say " what happened to so and so after the u19 final" etc etc.

I absolutely have no problem about batsmen. They will develop under first class system . Under-19 is largely unstructured. They bring these players from academy. My only worry is lack of fast bowlers and even spinners. This was a woeful bowling unit.

They will find some. All they need is two or three and they can manage. In a dip.they can remain competitive while a gem or two comes forward. Thats my point. As long as the system is working it will produce players.

yea Bumrah came out of wilderness. NObody knew about him at any level. Same with hardik pandya. Nobody heard about him when he joined Mumbai INdians.
 
Just watched the Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s gesture clip And yes, he crossed the line. Mistakes happen, and this was a bad one. @DeadlyVenom

I Hope he really learns and not Follows the Shaw routes.

He gets the fame which he deserves but crossing the line is very very bad for youngesters.

Probably the first time I'm agreeing with you.

Lots of slogging from Suryavanshi, and he fails to score in big matches in order to smash the ball, but ends up giving away his wicket in pressure.
 
Forget about the age controversy- the guy is box office. Whether he is 17/18 which is what my teaching instinct tells me, or younger, he is an amazing talent with amazing power and bat speed.

Youngsters learn from seniors. This is our senior teams who should refrain from mixing politics with such a beautiful sport like cricket.
 
In UP Bihar its very easy to get fudged medical certificate

Most people here dont know how corrupt Bihar is. Literally every guy I met from Bihar in college & office had their age fudged by2-3 years
Medical certificate isn't birth certificate, you have no idea how birth is registered?

I think they have changed more a decade or so back that you need proof for birth certificate. If you look at my age my parents did the opposite. I was so mischievous at home. So they increased my age by 1 year and admitted to school early. I was consistently the youngest person in the class.

It was too arrogant.

Life can humble you quickly when you make these statements and act cocky.

But he's only a kid so can't be too harsh on him.

This is a tradition these age group players going nuts on the field. It is mainly observable among Subcontinent teams. Bangladesh is the worst in that. They were constantly sledging India in 2020 final and game got halted a couple of times. You don't see Australia, South Africans, English cricketers doing all this. They behave like proper teenagers. Having fun.
 
Vaibhav looks disinterested in playing under 19 cricket, its apparent that he belongs on a bigger stage so he is just taking it easy.

India need corrections. They became too haughty.

They need to experience cricketing setbacks, economic setbacks, and various other setbacks to become humble. :inti

No it's not a tradition to stoop to this level. I haven't seen such a low thing as saying you are below the level of my shoe and pointing to show in all my time watching cricket. You cannot equate it to the usual gestures and excitement.

If you look in the past i have seen many such tense moments. But most of the time it is Bangaldesh team that got into these ugly fights. Actually India/pakistan were more friendly to each other than Bangladesh who are clearly in their mid 20s pretending to be under-19 try to act all big.
 
He looks a good player but with a lot of immaturity in the way he plays. He also looks older than his stated age, not quite as bad as the infamous Saudi Arabia Under 16 World Cup winning team from 1989 but still older than he claims.

Giving a send off to a batsman is very disgusting thing. Pakistani players wer mocking him & he retaliated. Fair game

Next time Pakistani bowlers should behave as well

In UP Bihar they can fudge anything. I am yet to meet a Bihari who has not faudged his age by 2-3 years. Its very common place in Bihar to ensure eligibility in govt exams

So he is 16-17 my guess

Anyways age rarely matters once u make it to senior cricket. He is allready playing in IPL

Yea. He does not look over 17.

No point retaliating when you’ve just got out and choked in a final.

Shut the door on your way out son

Its for Vaibhav to decide. No point crying abt what Vaibhav did when u started it

Wins & losses happen all the time. U dont get licence to behave like an asshole just bcoz u won
 
Yes I did. 1 Pakistani player walked towards him & said something. Thats where Vaibhav snapped

No point whining over it like a crybaby. If u sledge someone , u should be able to handle the riposte
In all fairness Pakistan players handled it well. They blasted out the rest of the Indian wickets and celebrated with their flags on the pitch holding the cup.There wasn't any whining or crybaby antics.

However, as a spectator I found it to be a low class thing that went beyond normal sledging. I didn't blame the kid, I feel his mindset had been polluted by jingoistic India media. Sadly I think yours has too.
 
Allow him for his reaction, if his 14 he must have come out of nappies around 2019/20.
 
pak and ind have had super weak under 19 teams recently. i dont think anyone from that squad is close to pak international selection, dont know about india.
they ain't close to selection becouse pakistan already has openers waiting in the wings.

Well today Pakistan won & so obviously u are very exciter & happpy with everyone & everything is perfect. And India is very bad

But if say in World T20 game India wins & after wicket Indian start giving a rude send off - I dont think u guys will enjoy it.

ps : I also found Haris Rauf's antics , Abrar's send offs or Farhan's celebration in Asia Cup very low class - but yaar who cares. Jo jeeta wohi sikander

No issues with Raza and no issues with Vibhav.
 
No issues with Raza and no issues with Vibhav.
2 people went at each other. So no point blaming just 1 guy

If Vaibhav said something unprovoked then its wrong. But this is clearly not the case

No every man is a saint. If u provoke people - there will be a response.

There are 2 kinds of cricketers

Saints - Sachin , Lara , Dravid , folks who never retaliate , never say anything come what may

Bull dogs - Guys who dont take any nonsense lying down , come what may. Like Kohli , Ponting , KP , Dave Warner

Vaibhav is clearly in the 2nd category

Given your career on PP, you should increase it by one more year 😃

Don’t think anyone’s crying. Just pointing out he looks like a bit of an ass. If he wants to continue that, who are we to stop him
 
Said it earlier and will say it again. He’s a hack and is nowhere near international quality.

The shot that he got dropped on was not even club level.

With this technique, he’s not getting anywhere near international level.

There’s actually a middle category: Gormless. Sachin, Babar etc belong in that one. Real nothing characters
 
He is going to make international debut in a couple of years. He is like Sehwag. He will play the same way in all formats. Shot selection is not something that you have to avoid teaching him at this young age. Let him discover himself. Never stifle natural talent at a young age. Won't be surprised if he opens with Jaiswal soon after KL Rahul's departure in Tests. Having said that he has to work on his fitness. Cannot go Prithvi shaw who made debut century and after one injury vanished.
 
Personally I would select Sameer Minhas over Suryavanshi in current situation because Sameer is more complete package and mentally a ton stronger than Surya.
 
But definitely not 14 with this build and height , Biharis generally are shorter and weaker peoples and they grow moustache and muscles very late like in late teens and early 20s but Surya is already 5ft 10 and still got a baby face with no beard and moustache so he is definitely close to 17.

Sameer faced a rubbish bowling unit to be fair. Suryavanshi smashed prasidh krishna, Siraj all over the park.

But Sameer never played on a bouncy drop in Gabba pitch ever where as Surya had more exposure early on his career and played against national team bowlers as well.

Even though the pitch in the final was a slow one but it definitely got more bounce then what Sameer has played in his U19 league days.

That is where the real test is. Suryavanshi is like to do well on varied surfaces All the indian seamers are straight from academies. May be some school cricke tthat's it. This was in Australia

 
Sameer has got amazing ability to adapt in any condition and against any bowling attack , this quality alone is a rare thing to have in a batter.

Sameer never faced any International quality bowlers nor he did any foreign tour and played under different conditions , yet he went to Dubai and played on a drop in pitch against very different sort of bowlers he faced in U19 leagues.

He has great range. He can prove it in the world cup.
 
And to play under alien conditions under immense pressure against unknown bowling attack and actually manage to dominate them in all that important final actually tells you alot about his character and his ability to adjust and adapt in any conditions.

Yes. He has another opportunity next year.

Sameer Minhas will be history in few year while vaibhav is going to ruled World cricket for more than a decade #Fsct

And Sameer is certainly not a slugger too from what I have observed from his innings. Suryavanshi is

Sameer Minhas is probably 23-24 years old. In Pakistan cricket pretty much everyone is 4-5 years older than his official age

So need to see him in senior cricket before making any judgement

Age frauds often look extraordinary in youth cricket but gets exposed in senior cricket

not just Pakistan, India and Bangladesh do a lot of it too

Yes India had this problem earlier. No wonder players like Unmukt Chand & Ambati Rayudu , Baba Aparajith never delivered in senior cricket. Last few years BCCI has cracked down on age frauds - which is why we are not winning Asia Cup u-19 any more

Thats why I take U-19 cricket with a lump of salt
 
I think Vaibhav will likely be a burnt-out alcoholic by the time he is 20.
High possiblity. So much fame & money at an early age is often a recipe for disaster. Look at Prithvi Shaw

Thats why I think BCCI should get careful & ask Vaibhav to focus on domestic cricket
