What did Vaibhav tell as rumour?
Was the rumor spread about Vaibhav Suryavanshi related to his not playing many ODIs? During the post match presentation, the presenter asked Vaibhav Suryavanshi that you are very good in T20 cricket but you have not played many ODIs, so what did you learn from this tournament? Talking about learning from the tournament, Vaibhav said that he learned a lot. But he could not digest the idea of not playing much ODI cricket. Vaibhav rejected him outright.
People do not know – Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Vaibhav Suryavanshi told the presenter that he has played a lot of 50 over format i.e. ODI. I don’t know, people don’t know. Only after saying this, 15 year old Vaibhav spoke further.
