Doesn’t work like that. Of course he’s very early, but long term, the work starts now. If he continues exclusively working on t20 cricket and not honing in the fundamentals required for the longer forms, he will not get there. And that would be a great shame. And btw, that doesn’t mean he needs to cede what currently works. Guys like Head have set the template to succeed in all three formats.

You cannot put Vibhav & late in the same sentence lol. He's probably a decade early. šŸ˜„

A talent like this HAS to be nurtured for the longer forms too. You’ve got to start putting in the work now, before it’s too late. Clearly very special.
If Vaibhav Sooryavanshi takes down Hazlewood today...the only question should be whether you give him window seat or aisle seat on the plane for that T20I series against England in June

I genuinely can’t believe how strange some people are šŸ˜‚ Yes, yes I would have. ā€œIndianā€ isn’t even an ethnicity ffs.
Replying to @Nealbackup
Why "random Indian lad?" If this was someone of WI or SENA origin, would you have mentioned ethnicity?

What’s really surprised me this IPL is the quality of those of these Indian fast bowlers. Clearly raw, but there’s so much to work with. Be a shame if at least a few of them don’t develop into longer format bowlers.

The IPL should have a power surge like the BBL.

And remove the impact sub. Don’t like it at all, the power surge is more tactical and more fair imo.

ā€œSerious consideration of restricting participation in bilateral series involving Indiaā€??? šŸ˜‚
Ben Duckett’s last-minute withdrawal from the IPL is not just a ā€œdifficult personal decision,ā€ it’s a serious breach of professional commitment that undermines the very structure of franchise cricket. When a player enters the IPL auction and is picked by a franchise like Delhi Capitals, it sets off months of planning, strategy, and resource allocation. Pulling out at the eleventh hour disrupts team balance, forces last-minute scrambling, and disrespects both the franchise and its fanbase. Yes, international cricket is important but that cannot become a convenient excuse to walk away from signed contracts whenever it suits individual priorities. If players are allowed to opt in and out of the IPL at will, it sets a dangerous precedent that weakens the league’s credibility and operational integrity. The IPL and BCCI must take a firm, uncompromising stance here. This isn’t just about one player, it’s about protecting the sanctity of the tournament. A strong deterrent is essential: a multi-year ban from the IPL, and serious consideration of restricting participation in bilateral series involving India, must be on the table. Professional sport runs on accountability. You cannot enjoy the benefits of the IPL ecosystem and then abandon your obligations without facing consequences. If the league wants to maintain its global stature, such actions cannot go unpunished.

New Zealand made this seem like a much better batting wicket than it was with their new-ball bowling. They truly were abhorrent tonight.

Using the conditions argument against this Indian side is hilarious when they’ve literally won back-to-back world cups, the last in VASTLY different conditions. They’re just the best white ball side in the world. By a distance.

It’s difficult to compare him with the legends from the past because cricket has evolved immensely and the skillsets required today are vastly different. But yes, he undoubtedly is. The best I’ve ever seen.
Is Jasprit Bumrah the most complete bowler to ever play the game?

Sensational today, India. Turned up when it mattered the most, absolutely zero doubts over who the best team is. Saved their best performance for last too. Just complete domination.
