'His name's Sooryavanshi': Buttler backs Indian teen to break his T20 record
Jos Buttler has made headlines by becoming the all-time highest run-scorer in men's T20 cricket, overtaking Kieron Pollard. He has high hopes for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose impressive form in youth competitions suggests he may one day challenge this record, signaling exciting times ahead for the future of Indian cricket.
England cricket star Jos Buttler has named 15-year-old Indian batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the player most likely to break his record for the most T20 runs. Buttler scored an unbeaten 51 off just 20 balls during Manchester Super Giants' nine-wicket win over Welsh Fire in The Hundred, surpassing West Indies legend Kieron Pollard's record.
The young prodigy has been instrumental in India's success, scoring 151 runs in their T20I series against Zimbabwe and winning the Player of the Tournament at the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Buttler's record-breaking performance helped Manchester Super Giants secure a 161/1 total against Welsh Fire, ending a three-match losing streak.
