RR eye 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after stunning trial

Rajasthan Royals have earmarked 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a future star after a brilliant display in a local match.

In a recent trial, 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showcased fearless left‑handed batting that left Rajasthan Royals’ Director of Cricket Zubin Bharucha stunned. Bharucha said the youngster handled all bowlers with confidence, comparing him to legends like Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and calling him the best player seen since Sachin Tendulkar. cat-cross.com
