'Don't Care Who We're Leaving Out, This Lad Has To Play': Nasser Hussain Backs Sooryavanshi For India Call-up
Indian Premier League: Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes India can no longer overlook teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He insists the 15-year-old has done enough to earn a spot on the national team after a record-breaking Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season.
In the latest edition of The ICC Review with Sanjana Ganesan, Hussain praised the young player, who impressed in the tournament with an outstanding 776 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 237.30. His total of 72 sixes was also the highest by any batter in a single IPL season.
For Hussain, the question of whether Sooryavanshi is ready for international cricket is already answered. "Such an easy answer to give to that is that yes, he has to play. I didn't watch too much of the IPL, to be honest, but I watched clips of Sooryavanshi, and what an incredible talent," Hussain said.
