young man Vaibhav Suryavanshi Has continued to impress with his consistency, especially in the T20 format, having already made a name for himself with his exceptional batting ability. He was picked up by Rajasthan Royals (RR) for Rs 1.1 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction.
The young player has cemented his place in the playing eleven of the franchise with several remarkable innings. He continued that form into the India Under-19 setup before showcasing his talent in the current Indian Premier League season. At the age of just 15, he has scored two centuries in the tournament.
As Suryavanshi is progressing, the discussion has intensified as to when he should be given a chance in the senior Indian team. While most of the debates focus on white-ball formats, former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch believes the young talented player has the potential to excel in Test cricket as well.
“There is room for such impactful players in Test cricket. You think about Rishabh Pant and the difference he has, he is a player who can strike real fear into the opposition because he is unpredictable,” Finch told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“We have seen what Vaibhav (Suryavanshi) can do against the new ball in T20. If he bats at number five against the 50-over old ball in Test cricket, what can he do there? The thing that amazes me is his ability to strike the ball from the first ball. Even against the best bowlers in the world, he gets out; he has no fear, but he also has the ability to adapt to the conditions of the game. The 15-year-old At his age, that's what he is, he has an incredible skill set, he is more mature than his age.”
Suryavanshi is the fourth highest run scorer in the current IPL season with 404 runs in 10 innings. He has maintained an impressive average of 40.40 and a tremendous strike rate of 237.64, which includes one century and two half-centuries. Notably, he has hit 37 sixes, the most by any player in the tournament so far.
