Mohammad Kaif- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: There are talks of bringing Vaibhav Suryavanshi into Team India. There is advocating for him to debut in the jersey of Men in Blue. Recently he has been selected in the India A team playing the tri-series in Sri Lanka. But, what about the wealth that was exposed amidst all this? Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has made a big allegation against Vaibhav Suryavanshi during the IPL match against Delhi Capitals on the evening of 17th May. Now the question is how true is Kaif’s allegation.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fielding exposed
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is tremendous in batting. He has proved his mettle well in that. In such a situation, the question is that if the secret is revealed then why? The answer is fielding. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fielding came under target during the match against Delhi Capitals. This happened when he misfielded Yash Punja’s ball against Akshar Patel in the 14th over of Delhi’s innings and the ball went for four runs. The same misfield gave Mohammad Kaif an opportunity to blame Vaibhav during the commentary.
How true is this allegation of Mohammad Kaif?
Mohammad Kaif alleged that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has not taken a single catch in IPL 2026. They have not seen him take even a single catch. When we also investigated this and looked at the figures, we found that Kaif was right. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has not taken a single catch in the 12 matches played so far this season.
Kaif’s advice to improve fielding
After revealing this issue related to Vaibhav’s fielding, he also said that it is the job of the coach and the support staff of the team to work on the fielding of the young players and improve it. So that when these players come on the field to play India, they show the agility of a leopard.
It’s painful to watch the fielding in this IPL. Today Yash Raj dropped KL when he was on zero. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also misfielded. The young boy hasn’t taken a catch this season. While playing for India he needs to be sharper on the field. It is the duty of coaches to teach
