Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name is famous in the cricket world, his hitting ability is discussed not only in India but all over the world. This is because Vaibhav did not play well in just one or two innings, but ever since he made his debut in IPL, he has been playing well continuously.

Good batsmen get scared in front of Jasprit Bumrah, how come this young batsman is hitting a six on the very first ball in front of him. Recently there was discussion about him also during the England vs New Zealand Test, when the game was stopped due to rain.

When the play in the England vs New Zealand first Test was stopped due to rain, Ian Ward, Nasser Hussain and Simon Doull started a conversation in the commentary box, which soon turned to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. It started when Ward suggested that Vaibhav could open in Test cricket. Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hussain’s face, but Dool agreed and said that that day might not be far off.

Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull said, “He is not far away from it. It would be great to see. He was the highest run-scorer in the tournament (IPL 2026). I don’t know how many awards he got in total, but for a 15-year-old player it is really amazing. I loved seeing it. I don’t know in whose place he should be included, but a place should be made for him.”

Speaking to Sportstar, he said, ‘Vaibhav is definitely the next player in line after Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma in the T20 format. But if he has to be brought to Team India, then I would first like to see him playing on Indian pitches like IPL.
