There is no doubt that the young kid, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, is devastating and proving to be destructive against the world-class bowlers during the ongoing IPL 2026 season.
He has already tamed world-class bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Josh Hazlewood. He is the emerging prodigy, who should be nurtured well by the BCCI.
He should be given more exposure at the International level, especially in the white ball cricket. We thoroughly enjoyed his heroics against Mumbai Indians and RCB.
Of course, he did tame the CSK, whose bowling seems to be the weakest. But he is the future of Indian Cricket, provided he keeps his head cool and firmly over his shoulders.
