Stephen Fleming has asked the world to be vigilant from India for the Under-19 World Cup.
New Delhi. The performance of young Indians in IPL 2025 has sent a warning to world cricket. New Zealand’s Stephen Fleming also believes this. Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming said that he is worried about the teams in the upcoming Under-19 World Cup who will have to face India. Fleming said this by looking at the performance of young stars like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mahatre.
17 -year -old Ayush Mahatre played an innings of 94 runs and prepared a stage of victory for Chennai against RCB. However, his team lost the match by two runs. This innings of Mahatre reminded of the century innings played in 35 balls of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Fleming also told the story of choosing Mhatre. He said, ‘When he (Ayush) trial, we were very impressed with his skill. His restraint was quite impressive. It is a good thing to be adept at putting a lot of shots, but it is worth maintaining patience in front of the big players of the world and to carry out the team’s plan.
The best thing about Ayush Mhatre’s batting was that he was not already making up his mind to play shots nor was he shot with a lot of strength. They were batting cleverly according to the circumstances. When he hit the ball outside the off stump of Bhubaneswar in the extra cover area in the 15th over, his balance was worth seeing. His hand-i coordination is fantastic.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi also impressed Rajasthan coach Rahul Dravid along with an aggressive innings against Gujarat Titans a few days ago. Dravid said during the ‘Star Sports Press Room’, ‘His bat speed is very good. His back lift is very good. His hand-i coordination is very good in terms of decision making about the length of the ball. He plays the shot by quickly sensing the length of the ball.
Stephen is greatly influenced by Fleming, Mhatre and Suryavanshi. He said, ‘It is extraordinary to see him playing fearlessly. It does not matter that you are 14, 18 or 21 years old. The innings you have played, especially these two youths are excellent. This shows their maturity beyond age. I think it is quite challenging for bowlers around the world to deal with their skills.
