Young Indian batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has earned high praise from former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn. The legendary pacer described the teenager as a special talent and backed him to become one of cricket’s biggest stars in the future.
Following Vaibhav’s impressive IPL 2026 campaign, Steyn said the youngster possesses the ability to achieve something extraordinary in world cricket. His performances at such a young age have already caught the attention of several former players and experts.
Steyn went a step further by suggesting that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could finish his career with an even bigger legacy than Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The former South African pacer believes the teenager has the potential to reach remarkable heights if he continues his development.
According to Steyn, it is rare to see a player of Vaibhav’s age display such confidence and skill. He said the young batter is already showing qualities that separate him from most cricketers in his age group.
Vaibhav’s rapid rise has made him one of the most exciting young talents in international cricket. His performances have generated significant interest among fans and experts, making him a player to watch in the coming years.
After receiving his first India call-up, Vaibhav now has another major opportunity to showcase his talent. The young batter will be eager to justify the faith shown in him and prove why cricket legends rate him so highly.
