New Zealand conditions will test ‘incredible’ India teen Sooryavanshi, says pacer Duffy

Fast bowler Jacob Duffy stated that the home squad has thoroughly reviewed the recent performances of Indian teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ahead of their upcoming five-match Twenty20 series. The young opening batsman recently made history by becoming the youngest international in the men’s format during a tour of England, followed by setting a record for the quickest half-century by a teenager against Zimbabwe, and securing a gold medal at the Asian Games in Japan.

Duffy acknowledged the remarkable talent and heavy scoring rate of the left-hander, while pointing out that unfamiliar New Zealand pitches will present a distinct challenge compared to typical subcontinent tracks. The opening encounter of the multi-format tour is scheduled to take place at Christchurch, featuring expected bounce from the wicket as India prepares for the series opener.
