Zimbabwe Captain Backs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Ahead of India T20I Series

Zimbabwe Captain Backs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Ahead of India T20I SeriesPreviousNext

Fifteen-year-old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently became India's youngest international player, has faced early challenges with modest scores in his initial T20I matches against England. Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza praised Sooryavanshi as a 'generational talent' if managed well and urged patience with the young player. Sooryavanshi acknowledged ups and downs but remains confident ahead of the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe in Harare, a venue where he previously excelled during the Under-19 World Cup.
