The India vs Ireland T20I series received hype mainly because of 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavabshi, who could make his Team India debut in the series. The young player will have to wait as his name is not in the line-up for the first match of the series against Ireland.

Although he won’t be on the field tonight, there is plenty of speculation surrounding the emerging talent. Before the match, during a segment on Sky Sports Cricket, former cricketers Nasser Hussain, Kumar Sangakkara and Dinesh Karthik were discussing how Vaibhav Suryavanshi became a sensational talent.

Dinesh Karthik compared Vaibhav Suryavanshi with MS Dhoni

Former Team India keeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik said that the country is full of talent. For example, he talked about the great captain MS Dhoni, who came from nowhere and became a legend of Indian cricket. Karthik drew some parallels between the rise of Dhoni and Suryavanshi.

Dinesh Karthik said, “There was a group of people who went across India to see if there was any interesting talent in the rural areas of the country. And the first one they picked was none other than MS Dhoni. He was from Bihar, which has now become Jharkhand, and Bihar is two different states geographically.”

Dinesh Karthik mentions Indian cricket’s extensively developed scouting system

Since cricket is a popular favorite sport in India and there is a lot of talent in all the states, the scouting process has also improved a lot over the years. Then came the Indian Premier League, which shaped the modern world of cricket.

“And after the IPL started, one thing that has really taken shape is that every team invests a lot in the scouting system. And through the scouting system, people go across the country,” Karthik said.

“Really, what the cricket world needs to see is if there is any talent that people are not seeing. Is there someone special? And this young lad has clearly caught the attention of Rajasthan Royals as he went there for trials.”

Nasir Hussain shares some interesting stories about Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Former England captain Nasser Hussain shared some interesting behind-the-scenes stories about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Since he is only 15 years old, the organizers of the United Kingdom’s tour of India had to break some traditional rules. Since Suryavanshi is very young, he is allowed to travel with his parents.

The tour is organized by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC), so it was their responsibility to take care of the 15-year-old player. The organizers also allocated a separate changing room especially for them. Generally, cricketers are not allowed to share the room with parents.

Sharing an old video of the batsman, the great England cricketer said that during the lockdown, when most people were confined to their walls, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was uniquely engaged in his batting rehearsals, which shows how dedicated he is to the game. In the video playing on the big screen of the studio, 9 year old Vaibhav was practicing batting on the terrace.
