Former India batsman Ajinkya Rahane has advised fans to be patient with the country's young opener, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old Sooryavanshi has had a mixed start to his international career, struggling on his debut tour of England before excelling in the T20I series against Zimbabwe. Speaking on the Stick to Cricket podcast, Rahane stated that it is too early to predict Sooryavanshi's future in Test cricket, emphasizing that IPL and international cricket are completely different.
He highlighted the immense pressure of representing one's country in Test matches and noted that scoring runs in domestic leagues like the IPL is far easier than chasing similar totals in international cricket. Rahane urged Sooryavanshi to play his game, grow, and not be pressured by the current buzz surrounding him.
