Justin Langer, the head coach of Lucknow Super Giants, has joined the fan club of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old batting sensation. Sooryavanshi, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, has been in stellar form, currently leading the league in runs scored with a remarkable strike rate of 236.32. He has hit 53 sixes in the tournament, including 10 against Langer’s team, LSG.
Langer was amazed by Sooryavanshi’s performance, particularly his ability to handle top fast bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Anrich Nortje. Despite his young age, Sooryavanshi’s talent and potential have left Langer and others in awe. Langer believes that as Sooryavanshi continues to learn and adapt to different conditions, he will only become more dangerous on the field.
While there is a lot of excitement around Sooryavanshi potentially making it to the senior Indian team, selectors are taking a cautious approach and have included him in the India A team for now. Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of the selection panel, expressed their excitement about Sooryavanshi’s talent and hopes that he will showcase his skills while playing for the A team.
Overall, the cricketing world is buzzing with anticipation about the future prospects of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, with many predicting that he will only continue to improve and make a significant impact on world cricket. Published on May 20, 2026.
