Sourav Ganguly Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly met and encouraged the 14 -year -old cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday 4 May. The former captain of Team India told him that he should stand on his fearless style.
India Today quoted sources as saying that Ganguly said to Vaibhav, “I have seen your game. The way you play cricket fearlessly, play the same way. You have no need to change your game.”
Ganguly also saw the huge bat of the young player and praised his power-touching capacity, saying, “He has good strength. He did not score runs in KKR’s match, but he is a very good player.”
Suryavanshi has created history by becoming the youngest player to score a century in the IPL. Representing Rajasthan Royals, 14 -year -old Suryavanshi scored 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, including 11 sixes and 7 fours. His fearless batting has attracted the attention of cricket veterans and fans.
Seeing the bat of Vaibhav, inspired by the great Brian Lara, you miss Yuvraj Singh and Ganguly who preferred to play with a heavy bat. This young player, who was purchased for Rs 1.1 crore, made his Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar at the age of 12.
When Ganguli was the captain of Team India, then Team India’s coach used to be Greg Chappell at that time. He has also given a statement about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He has said that it would not be right to put pressure on Vaibhav from now on, otherwise his career may be out of track like Vinod Kambli and Prithvi Shaw.
