Former Pakistani bowler Tanveer Ahmed has made controversial remarks on Indian cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He gave Vaibhav’s age as 22 years instead of 15 and challenged him to score a century against England. Ahmed also called Vaibhav a “blind slugger”.
New Delhi: Former Pakistani fast bowler Tanveer Ahmed has given a controversial statement regarding young Indian cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi, which is being discussed a lot. There are reports that Vaibhav Suryavanshi may soon make his international debut in the series against Ireland or England. Talking about this, Tanveer Ahmed said, “It is easy to score runs on the pitches of IPL or Asia. The real test is to bat on the swing and seam pitches of England.”
After this he gave another controversial statement and said, “If Vaibhav scores a century against England, I will roam naked on the streets of Lahore.” Not only this, Tanveer also expressed doubt on Vaibhav’s age. He said, “I can’t believe he is 15 years old. I think he is at least 22 years old. His hip rotation, power and ability to hit sixes are not seen in a 15-year-old boy.”
Tanveer criticized Vaibhav and even called him a “blind slugger”. He said that Vaibhav is a player who scores runs just by swinging the bat on small grounds. However, Indian cricket fans and former players have strongly opposed these statements of Tanveer. Everyone believes that Vaibhav will answer all these criticisms with his talent with the bat.
This statement of Tanveer Ahmed has now become a matter of big debate on social media. Many cricket fans are calling it an attempt to create unnecessary controversy, while some believe that Vaibhav will give a befitting reply to the critics by performing brilliantly in England. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who caught everyone’s attention with his extraordinary batting at the age of just 14, is already being considered as India’s next superstar. In such a situation, Tanveer’s statement raising questions on his age and ability has given rise to a new controversy.
