thebalanced.newsCarlos Brathwaite Advises Gradual Integration for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Before India Debut
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old IPL 2026 standout with a 36-ball century, has drawn attention for potential India T20I selection. Former West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite advised caution, suggesting Sooryavanshi be integrated gradually, similar to Brian Lara's early career, by learning from senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma before debuting internationally. This approach aims to prepare him for top-level competition without rushing his India debut.
