AB de Villiers reacts on Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Rajasthan Royals' young Vaibhav Suryavanshi has surprised world cricket with his amazing batting. 14-year-old Vaibhav did the feat of scoring the second fastest century in IPL history and surprised world cricket. Vaibhav surprised everyone by scoring a century in just 35 balls. After Gayle, Vaibhav has become the fastest batsman to score a century in IPL. At the age of 14, Vaibhav has raised hopes for the future by playing a stormy innings against legendary bowlers. Former cricketers are reacting and congratulating Vaibhav. At the same time, AB de Villiers, known as Mr. 360, has reacted after seeing Vaibhav's batting. Regarding Vaibhav, AB has admitted that this batsman is the future of world cricket but he still has a long way to go.
AB de Villiers, while talking on his YouTube channel , said, "Such a feat at the age of 14, what can I say about him... Honestly, I have no words for him. I saw his batting in the match against Gujarat, the way he batted will inspire young cricketers. His batting was going to inspire others. My son is just 10 years old and I don't think he will be able to play at this big level at the age of 14. Definitely... Absolutely out of this world"
AB further said, "His batting is very aggressive. He is going to play forward. He is going to bat fast, I have never seen a century like this before. The thing for me to think about is that his style of batting is more aggressive which a matter of concern for me is. There can be inconsistency with him. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to score runs in every match or not. But he is still 14 years old and he has a lot of time. What more can you want from a 14-year-old boy".
If Rahul Dravid is with him then Vaibhav will not face any problem
AB further said, "The good thing with him is that Rahul Dravid is there. I think Dravid has told him to play without any pressure. He has no pressure. The management must have told him to go and play freely. The management must not have given responsibility to the young batsman". Apart from this, AB admitted that Vaibhav has excellent technique, he is adept at hitting big shots well. He is a fearless batsman. He plays the ball well and his aerial shots go out of the field. Looking at him, it seems that he is the future of world cricket.
AB de Villiers (AB de Villiers react on Vaibhav Suryavanshi) said, "In world cricket, I like batsmen who change their batting gear according to the situation. It will be interesting to see for Vaibhav. Vaibhav looked very aggressive in the first 6 overs and it remains to be seen how he bats after that. But the hope is that Vaibhav will go a long way. Remember this name... I think he is made for the future. The future is waiting for him. There are still ups and downs in his career. He is still very young. He is still immature in some areas but he has people who can make him a better cricketer".
