'He's Broken Down The Door And Deserves His Place': AB De Villiers Backs Vaibhav's India Selection
Representing Rajasthan Royals: South African great AB de Villiers has thrown his weight behind teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's selection in India's T20I squad, saying the youngster has done enough to earn his opportunity at the highest level despite his tender age.
Speaking at a private event, de Villiers said it would have been easy for selectors to overlook the 15-year-old and opt for a more experienced player, but felt Vaibhav's performances had made the decision impossible to ignore.
"It would have been easy to say that he's still too young and he's not ready and go for more experience. He's broken down the door, and he deserves his place in the India T20 team, so I'm happy for him," de Villiers said.
