Sachin Tendulkar Applauds Rising Cricket Star Sooryavanshi

Tendulkar said the 15-year-old should keep his natural game after scoring 776 runs at a 237.31 strike rate in the IPL this season.

  • On Sunday, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar hailed teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a "truly special" talent, urging coaches and mentors not to interfere with the youngster's natural instincts as he rises in Indian cricket.
  • Sooryavanshi amassed 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30 in the 2026 Indian Premier League, cementing his status as a promising prospect after bold displays against elite bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins.
  • "Everyone is talking about Sooryavanshi," Tendulkar remarked on ESPNCricinfo, praising the teenager's "truly remarkable" wrist work and ability to pick line and length early without slogging the ball.
  • Tendulkar cautioned against placing excessive demands on the youngster too soon, advising selectors to decide when he joins the Indian Test squad rather than rushing him into a format where he has yet to make significant impact.
  • "Allow him the freedom to play his way," Tendulkar suggested, stressing that fostering the youngster's instinctual approach is pivotal to his development and shielding him from constant pressure is essential for his growth.
