Virat Kohli the ideal idol for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? Ex-India star's advice

Former spinner Harbhajan Singh believes teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must mirror Virat Kohli's fierce dedication and strict priorities to fully realize his immense potential, drawing parallels to Sachin Tendulkar's early years. During an online appearance, Harbhajan noted that the young batter possesses rare hitting ability and vision, though he stressed that natural talent alone cannot guarantee success at the highest level.

Sooryavanshi recently debuted for India during a July series against England before recording 151 runs at a strike rate of 196.10 on a subsequent tour of Zimbabwe. Despite those strong numbers, he missed the subsequent matches against Afghanistan, with head coach Gautam Gambhir explaining that selectors opted to stick with longer-serving performers for the top order.
