"Unreal talent": Lockie Ferguson hails Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ahead of India’s New Zealand tour

Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has expressed high praise for young Indian batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ahead of an upcoming multi-format tour that features three Tests, five ODIs, and five T20Is. Having previously competed against the fifteen-year-old during the Indian Premier League, the New Zealand pace spearhead noted that consecutive strong seasons earned the teenager his spot in the national squad and stated he is eager to face the challenge on home pitches.

Ferguson also pointed out that teammate Arshdeep Singh should find success with the extra swing and bounce available in New Zealand conditions. Additionally, the veteran fast bowler reflected on nearly a decade of experience across five franchises in the tournament, noting that playing alongside and against Indian cricketers has provided valuable insight into their preparation methods and match mindsets.
