Good start from Vaibhav…

Vaibhav Suryavanshi out 14(12)
He is a good prospect but it will not be easy for him in international cricket. IPL pitches are very flat and he did not score runs on difficult pitches. So please take it slow when it comes to exposure. Even if he fails in some international matches, move forward with him slowly pic.twitter.com/IVToVQUYay

Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored just 14 runs off 12 balls on his India A Senior Men’s debut. In his short stay, he showed some good defending and beautiful boundaries.
This is just the beginning, there’s a long way to go!
