Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has called teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi “God’s gift to Indian cricket” and believes the 15-year-old deserves an immediate call-up for India’s upcoming white-ball tour of England, even if it means leaving out an established top-order batter.
Gavaskar was left stunned after Sooryavanshi’s explosive 29-ball 97 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL Eliminator. The former India captain especially praised the youngster’s fearless batting and the way he smashed a straight six off Australian skipper Pat Cummins.
