Akash Chopra's big verdict on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stun fans - Check details

Cricket

Vaibhav Suryavanshi stepped into another high-pressure final and stole the spotlight with his fearless batting, becoming a major talking point of the match.

Making everyone look ordinary

Aakash Chopra praised the youngster’s confidence and style, saying Vaibhav’s performances are making many experienced players look average.

What did he mean?

“This kid is making everyone look bad. He plays so well that even experienced players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Priyansh Arya, and Tilak Varma might feel insecure. It’s a strong India A squad,” he said.

He further added

When this kid bats, he looks on another level. Fifty in 11 balls, 94 in the final, 175 in the U-19 World Cup final, and big IPL knocks. He keeps breaking records, even in big matches,” he said.

The more the pressure goes up, the better this kid plays. Most high-risk players get cautious in big games, but he doesn’t feel the pressure at all,” Chopra said.

He concluded

Playing alongside a 15-year-old like Vaibhav, others might try to match his hitting but soon realise they can’t. On his day, he outshines everyone, though he can be a bit inconsistent,” Chopra concluded.

Another final, another standout performance. Is this just great form, or the start of a long, successful career?
