Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has lauded 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, drawing parallels between the two in terms of their attacking approach to bowling. During Sehwag's address at the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry's annual session on October 10, he commended Sooryavanshi's fearless mindset and highlighted his potential to represent India.
The youngster has already made a significant impact in the IPL and was part of India's gold medal-winning cricket team at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. Sehwag, emphasizing that age should not be a barrier once a player transitions to the senior level, cited Virat Kohli as an example. He believes that individual performances should ultimately determine selection, regardless of a player's age.
Sooryavanshi's fearless mentality and record-breaking feats have earned him comparisons to Sehwag, with the teenager already establishing himself as a key player in Indian cricket's future.
