Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batsman AB de Villiers believes that teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be one of the first players of his generation to choose T20 cricket over Test cricket.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his India debut last week in the second T20I of the ongoing series against England. Speaking on TOI Sports’ Bombay Sports Exchange Podcast, de Villiers said the growing appeal of T20 cricket could influence young players like Sooryavanshi when deciding the direction of their careers.“He (Sooryavanshi) will be one of the first youngsters to simply say, ‘Sorry, I’m not interested in Test cricket. I am very happy to be playing T20 cricket.'”ALSO READ: AB de Villiers has revealed that Virat Kohli wants him to delay his retirement from RCBDe Villiers said that T20 cricket will be a more comfortable format for the batters because of the playing conditions.“From a comfort point of view, it (T20) is easier. You are dealing with short spells, there are only two fielders outside the circle during the Powerplay, the wickets are flatter – it will be an easier life as a cricketer. We will see what he decides. But regardless of what he (Sooryavanshi) chooses, there are certainly pitfalls in those challenge.”The former South African captain added that if Sooryavanshi eventually decides not to play Test cricket, the onus should not be placed on the player.“You can’t blame him. Those decisions are made at the top. It’s up to the administrators to find the right balance and make decisions that are more difficult than they are now.At the same time, de Villiers said that Sooryavanshi’s journey was not easy.“He will go through difficult patches. His character will be tested. Then it will be up to him to show if he has the character and mental strength to come through the stages. There will be many alarm bells and traps that he will encounter,” he said.He also said that Sooryavanshi needs proper guidance as he progresses.“At 15, you have to be a little immature—and he probably is. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. I hope he has good leadership, guidance and mentorship around him. I also hope he’s open to receiving help along the way because it’s a rocky road. There’s no doubt about that.
