Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal believes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is ready for international cricket and could receive his India call-up when the current IPL season concludes.
Sooryavanshi has taken the IPL by storm, scoring a century off 35 balls — the fastest in the tournament’s history — and the second fastest fifty. He hit a six off the very first ball he faced on debut.
His latest feat was a 15-ball fifty against Chennai Super Kings, in a Rajasthan Royals chase of just 128. Akmal noted that the modest target only made the innings more striking.
“In just 8 IPL games, he has been piling records — he already has a hundred. I think in the coming international games for India, he will get a chance after IPL. He will become a young player of the T20 international team. He has proved himself in every place.
