Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has shared his views on Vaibhav Suryavanshi and the rising expectations around him. He urged fans and experts to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the young cricketer at this stage.
Ashwin said, “Don’t give him such a target. Vaibhv is not even a guy, he is a kid. If MS Dhoni is playing till 45, and if Suryavanshi plays till 40, he has two and a half decades left in cricket.” His comments highlight the need for patience.
He further requested everyone to stay calm about Vaibhav’s selection in Team India. According to Ashwin, a player with such talent will naturally earn his place in the ICT. There is no need to rush decisions.
Ashwin explained that early pressure can harm a player’s confidence. If Vaibhav is rushed into the team and fails initially, it could affect his mindset. Such setbacks can be difficult to recover from, regardless of skill.
He also pointed out that early success can sometimes lead to overconfidence. This could result in a negative impact on a player’s long-term career. He hinted at past examples where careers did not progress as expected.
Vaibhav’s career is currently moving in the right direction. His young age is a major advantage. Experts believe he should be allowed to grow naturally without added pressure.
In the long run, a balanced approach can benefit both the player and Team India. With the right guidance, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has the potential to become a key player in the future.
