Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made the world crazy in a very short time. People are convinced of his fearless batting, because he is continuously performing well. He is not afraid of taking risks, he played a brilliant inning of 97 runs in 29 balls in the eliminator. Chris Gayle has named him Run Machine. Former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Yousuf also became a fan of the 15-year-old batsman. But while praising, he mentioned Shahid Afridi, due to which people got angry.

To Mohammad Yusuf, Vaibhav Suryavanshi seems like Shahid Afridi was in his youth. Shahid is called Boom-Boom, he also used to bat explosively but still he was not at all like Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Yusuf posted on People got angry on this post of Yusuf, most of the fans believe that there is a lot of difference between the two, Afridi is nothing compared to him.
