On Saturday, when Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his international debut in the second T20 match against England, there was only one question in everyone’s mind that the way he has dominated with his batting in IPL and junior cricket, will he be able to continue it in international cricket or not.
By hitting a six off Joffra Archer, Vaibhav showed that no matter what the stage, his style of playing is not going to change. Even though he got out after playing a short inning of 14 runs in 10 balls, but by hitting two sixes in this innings, he has shown his intentions that he will bat with the same style and strength in the coming match also.
World’s greatest bowler bows down
Vaibhav Suryavanshi created a class for many great bowlers in the IPL. He beat bowlers like Pat Cummins, Trent Boult, Mitchell Starc, Jasprit Bumrah a lot, but the question is whether Vaibhav has any weakness in his batting. During the IPL, Joffra Archer was asked to answer this question, but he laughed and avoided it. But now former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has talked about the weakness of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. According to Kaif, Vaibhav has not looked that comfortable in front of quality off-spin bowling.
Regarding Vaibhav’s debut innings, Kaif said, ‘His start was good, he got out because he did not play much off-spin. Even in IPL, he has never faced off-spin bowling. This is the problem. This is his first match and I don’t want to judge him on this. But they may have to work in this direction.
