Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is all set to make his senior men’s international debut, and at just 15 years old, is a former India spinner. Ravichandran Ashwin believes that the teenage sensation should enjoy the experience of representing his country.Sooryavanshi took the cricketing world by storm with a string of record-breaking performances. Despite his young age, the batting prodigy has shown remarkable composure under pressure, consistently giving his team the time it needs. As he prepares for the biggest step of his career, Ashwin believes the youngster should focus on enjoying the game before the inevitable pressures of international cricket begin.“He is a 15-year-old boy, who I personally believe should enjoy playing, as you would in the gullies from his hometown,” Ashwin told the BBC.“It’s not a long road for him to play without pressure. It will take time, because he’s going to work, but as of now, I want him to have fun and we all have fun,” added Ashwin.Ashwin also praised Sooryavanshi’s extraordinary talent, highlighting his ability to adapt against experienced bowlers despite his limited age and experience.“I think he’s special. When you watch someone special, you know it straight away,” said Ashwin. “What’s amazing with Vaibhav is not just the way he bowls, but it’s also how he makes subtle changes about some of the senior bowlers who follow him,” Ashwin concluded. Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continued to rewrite cricket history after smashing the fastest half-century in List A cricket, reaching his fifty in just 11 balls during India A’s Tri-Nation Series final against Sri Lanka A. The Bihar prodigy also owns some notable records, including becoming the youngest IPL Orange Cap winner, the fastest player in 1,000 IPL runs, the youngest men’s T20 centurion, the holder of the most sixes in a T20 tournament, and the fastest Youth ODI fifty, cementing his status as one of cricket’s brightest stars.
