Kapil backs Sooryavanshi, compares youngster's talent to Kohli, Tendulkar

Young batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looks as good as Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli in terms of talent, and his ability, not his age, should be taken into consideration while deciding on his selection, says legendary Kapil Dev. Sooryavanshi has been drafted into the Indian squads for away T20I assignments in Ireland and England, but so far the 15-year-old has had to wait on the sidelines for a chance to make his international debut. While the debate rages on over whether the explosive youngster should be played in place of some of India's T20 World Cup-winning stars, Kapil said Sooryavanshi has shown that he possesses the rarest of talents. "If you are talking about the talent, yes he is as good as Sachin (Tendulkar) or Virat Kohli and the talent can be seen in him for T20, (but) for the rest (of the formats), he will have to prove (himself)," Kapil said on Vikrant podcast. "The day he plays Test cricket, can he play five overs maiden? He is fabulous in T20s, to make such

Shreyas, Abhishek Sharma smash fifties but rain has final say in 1st T20I

Abhishek Sharma's dynamic 59 and skipper Shreyas Iyer's composed 68 helped India gain a slice of positivity despite their first T20I against England getting abandoned because of incessant rains here on Wednesday. Their fifties helped India post a competitive 189 for seven, a noticeable change in their batting fortunes after churning out two underwhelming efforts against Ireland in the recent 0-2 series defeat. England's chase of 190 remained a non-starter after the heavens opened up during the innings break. The second contest of the five-match series will be played at Manchester on July 4. But the beginning of the tourists' innings was anything but rosy after they elected to bat. The T20I world champions lost Sanju Samson, who drove Saqib Mahmood (3/33) to Tom Banton at point, and Ishan Kishan with just six runs on the board. Kishan was run out after a mix-up with Abhishek, a mirror image of his dismissal in the second T20I against Ireland at Belfast recently. At that time, the

Sangakkara confident Vaibhav Sooryavanshi can handle cricket's spotlight

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not the one to get affected by "fame and flash" as the 15-year-old will be able to handle the attention of playing top flight cricket with aplomb, says Rajasthan Royals' head coach Kumar Sangakkara. The explosive teenager is currently with the Indian team on away tours of Ireland and England and speculations continue to persist on his possible international debut in these T20I assignments. Sangakkara, who has seen Sooryavanshi from close quarters in the IPL, says the young batter will be a force not just for India but also for world cricket. "He will have many opportunities ahead, in cricket and commercially. How he balances that, and the support he gets from his family and the team, will be crucial," Sangakkara told Sky Sports. "But one thing I can say for sure is that Vaibhav loves batting. He loves the game. The fame and flash don't really affect him. He is very grounded and curious about many things." Sangakkara revealed the young batting sensation is n
