In IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed everyone with his explosive batting. This young opener of Rajasthan Royals has scored runs fearlessly against big bowlers at the age of just 15. Seeing his aggressive batting, many veterans are considering him as the next big star of Indian cricket.
Due to his consistently excellent performance, some people have started comparing him with Sachin Tendulkar. However, former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik does not agree with this comparison. He believes that it would not be right to tag a player as ‘the next Sachin’ at such a young age.
Dinesh Karthik said that what Vaibhav is doing is very special. But what Sachin Tendulkar achieved during his time was extraordinary. He said that the challenges and circumstances of both the players are completely different.
off-field pressure is greater.
According to Dinesh Karthik, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has excellent cricket skills. But in the times to come, he will have to handle the popularity, expectations and pressure he gets outside the field.
He said that in today’s era, social media and constant discussion creates additional pressure on young players. In such a situation, Vaibhav should focus on his game and people should also allow him to move forward without any big comparison.
