Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old cricket sensation, has made waves in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his remarkable performances, including a stunning century off just 36 balls. Former West Indies allrounder Carlos Brathwaite emphasized the importance of nurturing Sooryavanshi's talent by keeping him close to the Indian national team without rushing his debut. Brathwaite drew parallels to Brian Lara's early career, suggesting that Sooryavanshi could benefit from learning alongside established players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta echoed this sentiment, noting that while Sooryavanshi possesses exceptional technical skills, his mental resilience will be crucial as he faces the pressures of professional cricket. Sooryavanshi has already scored 357 runs in seven matches during IPL 2026, showcasing his growth from last season. His impressive strike rate of 234.86 ranks second among batters this season, and he briefly held the Orange Cap for most runs before being surpassed. Brathwaite believes that Sooryavanshi could become a major face of the IPL in the near future, reflecting the excitement surrounding his potential.
