Sanjay Manjrekar, a former Indian cricketer, has expressed strong support for the inclusion of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the Indian T20I team, citing his remarkable performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Sooryavanshi, a young batting talent, has scored 404 runs in 10 matches this season, showcasing an aggressive batting style that has caught the attention of selectors. However, Manjrekar cautions that while Sooryavanshi may be ready for T20I cricket, the transition to Test cricket could be more challenging due to the existing competition for opening positions. He noted that Sooryavanshi's approach, which involves creating room to hit the ball, might not be as effective in the longer format of the game where players are advised to play closer to the ball. Additionally, Sooryavanshi is on the verge of breaking the record for the most sixes in a single IPL season, needing just six more sixes to surpass Abhishek Sharma's record of 42 sixes set in the 2024 season. This performance further highlights his potential as a future star in Indian cricket.
