Sehwag sees shades of his own fearless style in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Virender Sehwag recently drew parallels between his own aggressive batting approach and the style of 15-year-old talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has accumulated 246 runs across eight T20Is with a strike rate of 186. Speaking at the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sehwag emphasized that professional performance should supersede age considerations, noting that players like Virat Kohli continue to compete at the highest level well into their careers.

Sehwag also commended Shubman Gill for his recent achievements, including a 223-run innings against the West Indies in Guwahati and a record-breaking 754-run series in England. Looking ahead to the 2027 ODI World Cup, the former opener expressed confidence in India's prospects, provided the bowling unit led by Jasprit Bumrah remains robust.
