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

Kids these days think they hit a few shots and then can start doing galam galuch like Kohli. With his attitude issues he will not end up going very far despite the talent.

Kids in north belt abuse in school it’s very common. We did it too, felt it was cool.
At the end of the day he’s still a kid, hopefully he gets good mentorship and grows as a person and cricketer with age.
 
Pakistani fans, the proud fans of an all-time incompetent team, are stuck at Vaibhav's age. More they talk about it, more they sound like losers, jealous and frustrated. Keep it up while the young kid keeps plundering centuries :)

Nobody is disrespecting the talent. Chill

Everybody is just questioning the age, which you all know as well deep inside, but just wanna protect and nurture age fudging lies.
 
Vaibhav smashing bowlers in bowling friendly conditions. My god , he us a freak. He is the next big thing for cricket for sure. :kp

Neither Rashid nor vaibhav is as big a fraud as Naseem shah. You guys hyped him as the next teenage sensation like never before

And you know the funny thing? Both Rashid and vaibhav have actually performance even without their age, your Naseem averages 35 in tests and t20s.

Whats the point of fudging age and hyping someone when they end up averaging 35+?
 
Vaibhav needs to judge the length of balls better and then hit - he tries to hit EVERY single ball and sooner than we realize teams will figure what length he typically loses his wicket on. If he gets a little more careful on the lengths he attacks, a more consistent Vaibhav will be so much more dangerous.

It will be interesting to see how he progresses as international teams always watch for weaknesses.
 
I just wish Vaibhav didn't play IPL for next 2-3 years but concentrated on red ball cricket & the domestic grind....
So much to learn there.
Hope he remains grounded & does not loose his headvto the IPL riches & advts &;other stuff...hope his priority is to excel in test cricket...the pinnacle of cricket

He is not like others. He bats this way in all formats. Check his Test match in Australia.
 
He is finally 15, and even if someone is commenting on his age, look at him, even visually doesn’t look a day older than 17 max. So even if we take that into account, I have never seen a more beastly hitter at that age than him.

child prodigies who came before him were mostly all timers of the ball, this guy smashes the hell out of it. People will tune into just watch him, that kinda elite talent.

Yeah...but my point more is, his priority list. I hope test is at the very top.
Regarding batting same way in tests, what if he is on a green top is headingley- over cast conditions or like hamilton, NZ or Capetown, kingston etc?
My point is more if he gets more exposure in longer format first....he can always join any T20 league anytime in future....
I feel a spell in county cricket will also stand him in good stead...

Tinkering with his batting will be the worst thing to do. He should figure out on his own without losing his aggressive intent. He might occasionally get out soon. Sehwag wasn't exactly successful across the world. We still carried him. Because he was an X-factor.
 
jnaveen1980 said:
The word gifted you can confidently use. At this age, without much proper training, playing like this is pure talent. Yuvraj had similar vibe. But he was 18 at that time.

He has had plenty of training. If anything, he overtrains.

But plenty of people train like machines in their childhood but he is really special.

Physically imposing and incredibly gifted with timing. What a combo.

Well, that also is right.

i dont think also guys like Sachin relied too much on coach , yes they did work hard and they trained hard end of the day they were prepared to listen and adjust also. For eg Sachin adapted his game to each format very well and did not play in only one gear/style. Hope for the sake of indian cricket, he lives up to the expectations...

Maybe you weren't around in the 90s, but even Indian fans used to question the ages of several young Pakistani cricketers like Afridi, Saqlain, and Hasan Raza. Was that due to jealousy too? :inti
 
I am not fully convinced by his technique. It looks good for T20, but I am not sure how he will perform in other formats if given a chance in the future. He is still a teenager and can adapt his technique according to the format. Let’s see how he develops.
 
He's a special special talent and must be managed properly otherwise there is high risk he could become a burnt out alcoholic too.

Already he has defied cricketing laws with some of his innings at a tender age, and also defied law of nature by aging only 1 year in 3 years.
 
The key to ending the losing streak against India for Pakistan is finding a solution against their new generation of batting strikers like Abhishek, Krishan, Vaidhav, Dube etc

C’mon bro, he looks and sounds like a kid. A few months here and there maybe but does this really look as blatant as Afridi and some of the Pak and Afghan cricketers? 👇

Nahh..No one can beat Rashid Khan and Afridi, they are on another level. Afridi is a dumb, he himself has fudged his age many times :ROFLMAO:
I believe Suryavanshi is near 17.

i dont think any 15 year old kid comign through system cares too much about other formats aprt from T20
 
Read some posts above on not changing his technique - yeah that’s fine but some coaches - mental conditioning or the regular head coach must talk to him about temperament. He shouldn’t be hitting out at every single ball regardless of length - teams will find that out and feed him that difficult length. A consistent Suryavanshi will be such a huge plus for his team.
 
Its really threatening for other teams that India has a great t20 batting power house, and they have this kid who is yet to make an appearance. He is not even on the bench, so just shows what India has got lined up
 
Vaibhav and Abhishek opening for India with Kishan at number 3. Already getting nightmares, 200 runs in 8 overs is a strong possibility. Please don't play Shaheen and Rauf against this duo.

It is a pleasing prospect ... if all 3 fire , 150 in 10-11 overs is a certainity .
 
Dangerous batter. INdia has a strong backup already there who will make it in any playing 11... easy
 
This thread actually reads like fiction. A 15 year old kid already reminding us of peak Gayle, has God knows how many more IPLs to play in future.

I don't know about international Cricket, but he is all set to be the IPL GOAT in his 20s. Never seen a talent this unreal.
 
He needs more coaching at this point.

Him playing IPL will not develop his batting game for the other formats.

He has already played other formats at junior level. In modern cricket being all formatter is very very tough. In Kohli's days 138 strike rate was acceptable. Not anymore. It will impact your long format game as we saw with Kohli who kept on playing cover drive and getting out because it is his staple shot in ODIs. But Vaibhav is unique. He has done well in all 3 formats at youth group level with same approach as the field set is more aggressive in Tests.

I get he's a special talent. But I'm worried on two fronts. He shouldn't be fast tracked to international cricket because the strain on his body will be much more. Let him finish his growth spurt and let the likes of Dravid , Laxman and Tendulkar mould him into a much more proper batsman before he's unleashed into international cricket.

At this point nobody will touch him. Rahul Dravid is the finest technician out there. If they really find any flaw that needs to be fixed that will have already been done. But one thing guys like Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman is they are very clear about messing up the technique by overcoaching. Natural flair is what got him this far. If you look at his childhood videos you can see how technically sound he is. At this point shot selection may be pointed out as an issue. But he backs himself. If he gets out more and more in a specific way he will find a way if he is good enough.
 
I see him and still see some technical shortcomings. Nothing that can't be fixed and India has the coaches now that can work on him without him losing too much on effectiveness or his flair.

The point is that he shouldn't be fast tracked to the Indian team. Not till he's 18-19 at the very least . Important for him to finish his inevitable growth spurt , get his game well sorted and then he can be introduced.

I've seen far too many cricketers and footballers mismanaged and their initial promise lost due to injuries. Ansu Fati among footballers being the most recent one.

Not sure what you mean by technical short coming. Kohli and Gill have the biggest short coming. Both play far away from the body. KL Rahul has the supreme technique. But he chokes. Jaiswal has this issue around the off stump channel something most lefties would have. When the ball slants across he plays indecisively. Everyone has them.
 
India mismanaged Sachin as well too. Overplaying him led to his tennis elbow and made him change his batting style totally. We got a world class accumulator rather than the potential GOAT he was before

The loads on the cricketers now are much more in comparision to back then.

It's upto BCCI to manage his game time , development etc etc. The talent is there. The pipeline is clearly working. But don't overplay him.

Any shortcomings that he has are best addressed now before he gets on to the international game when there's little time to address and to learn.

And continued exposure will lead teams to identify more shortcomings and also muscle memory sets in.
 
For every footballer like Messi who was managed exceptionally well by Barcelona , there are atleast 20-30 players per season who were mismanaged by the same team (across various youth divisions etc etc)

It's probably going to be the same for Cricket as well. Which is why BCCI needs to step in and ensure that he's given a rounded training with sufficient recovery time.

In short , I hope BCCi manages him well
 
Picking the length is the crucial and he does it with plenty of flair and ease. Playing against moving ball, high bouncing ball thsoe things change from surface to surface. He cannot fine tune himself for every kind of itch in the world at this point. He should have a general game and he should adapt to different pitches. he will learn on his own when he matures. People will change stance in terms of position, in terms of direction lot of things ov ethe course of their career. That has to come naturally. This is not IIT JEe coaching to give standard coaching to all. Each has their own unique approach based on their height and other physical attributes.
