India head coach VVS Laxman has lauded the youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his swift development in terms of maturity, calling him one of the brightest talents in the country and giving him his blessings to make a mark in international cricket.
India’s head coach in the absence of Virat Kohli, VVS Laxman, has given Vaibhav Sooryavanshi a lot of credit, stating that the teenager has matured and matured in the game in the last few months.
The 15-year-old kept his impressive form and scored a match-winning hit against Zimbabwe, adding to his list of the most promising young Indian cricketers.
Mature Knock Impresses Laxman
Laxman highlighted Sooryavanshi’s composed batting on a challenging surface, calling it an example of a player knowing his game better than his years.
The youngster was faced with a slow ball and disciplined Zimbabwe bowling attack to which he responded with a different approach rather than just aggressive stroke play, showing good temperament during his innings.
Laxman said the fact that the teenager can evaluate the situation and adjust accordingly demonstrates his or her maturing.
Learning From Every Opportunity
The Indian coach admitted that he constantly looks for ways to improve in his matches as well as in his practice sessions.
Laxman thinks that the little one has learned from all his experiences has been a key reason for his rapid growth in the last year.
He has always been a man who has strived to be better and better and has managed to make a seamless transition from age-group cricket to the international arena.
IPL Experience Accelerated His Growth
Laxman attributed the confidence he gained to perform under pressure to his experience in the Indian Premier League with Sooryavanshi.
The young batsman took the challenge to bat against some of the best bowlers in the world, rather than being daunted by the occasion.The young batsman went ahead and took up the challenge to bat against some of the best bowlers in the world rather than being daunted by the occasion.

Disappointed but Hungry for More
Sooryavanshi was not happy after coming close to his maiden international century despite another great knock.
But the coaching staff reminded him that there would be many more opportunities to come in what they think will be a long and successful career, Laxman said.
The coach commended the youngster’s ambition and advised him to keep in mind that he is not just aiming for a single goal but for his overall development.
Growth Beyond Batting Skills
Laxman feels the most significant change in the youngster has been in his approach and not his technique as he has been working closely with Sooryavanshi for over two years at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
He said that the only minor technical changes that have been needed have been made and the teenager’s understanding of the game, awareness and ability to cope with pressure has gone through a huge change in the past six months.
Laxman believes these attributes have helped him play consistently against quality opposition.
Fitness Remains Key Focus
Laxman has complimented Sooryavanshi on his overall development and said that the youngster can improve in physical fitness.
The coach said that the 15-year-old is still keen to play in all circumstances and even requested to continue playing after sustaining an injury in the Zimbabwe series.

Bright Future Ahead
Beyond his age, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a talented and hardworking cricketer, who is steadily emerging as one of the most promising talents in Indian cricket.
Expectations are only going to rise as he gets more international experience and many feel that the teenage sensation can become one of the biggest cricket stars in the years to come.
