Former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara said, The younger star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should play for Test cricket despite his explosive IPL success with Rajasthan Royals.
The 38-year-old Cheteshwar Pujara told about 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, “should definitely play for Test cricket”. If he gets a right opportunity and remember longer format of the game should be in every young player’s mind.
He believe that Sooryavanshi is likely to earn an India T20I squad call-up in the future. Sooryavanshi, who has already broken several records with his kitty batting and he has the highest run-scorer for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Vaibhav has scored 404 runs in 10 innings.
Sooryavanshi exposing his impressive batting and growing demand from fans and experts to fast-track him into T20I squad.
However, Pujara said, If Sooryavanshi is performing well in T20 cricket and likely to get an call-up from India in the future.
This left-hander has the bright opportunity and ability, he should get a place to play Test cricket. Test Cricket format helps to build temperament, skill and respect for the game.
Pujara interview on media,
“Vaibhav is such a youngest player who is doing very well in T20 cricket and he will definitely get a chance in the Indian team asap. Whether he may plays Test cricket or not, time will tell and create opportunity. Definitely Test cricket should be there in each and every young player’s dream and mind.”
“I definitely do agree that Test cricket is the ultimate format of the game, but that doesn’t mean that the white ball specialist players don’t have that ability. If there is a white-ball specialist, like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Shreyas Iyer, then they should be playing that format. There should be different players for different formats.”
