In a recent practice session in Chennai, Australian cricket legend Glenn McGrath praised the young batting talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, drawing comparisons to iconic players Brian Lara and Garry Sobers. McGrath, who serves as the director of coaching at the MRF Pace Foundation, highlighted Sooryavanshi's unique backlift and fearless batting style, which he believes echoes the techniques of the West Indies greats. The teenage cricketer has made a significant impact in the Indian Premier League (IPL), hitting an impressive 72 sixes and 63 fours, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities. McGrath expressed admiration for Sooryavanshi's approach, noting that modern players play without fear, regardless of the bowling attack they face. However, he also mentioned that he is eager to see how Sooryavanshi performs in challenging conditions outside the subcontinent, particularly in countries like England and Australia. Additionally, McGrath recognized the contributions of other MRF Pace Foundation graduates, Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who have also made their mark in the IPL, further emphasizing the foundation's role in nurturing cricketing talent.
