Brathwaite Urges Caution In Handling Suryavanshi’s Meteoric Rise
“I apologize, Vaibhav, but if you look at how West Indies handled Brian Lara, he was a generational talent. Everyone knew that,” Brathwaite said on ESPNCricinfo TimeOut show following Suryavanshi’s stunning 37-ball 103 for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls.
Brathwaite pointed out how Lara was nurtured within the system before taking on international competition. “So what did West Indies do? They put him with top players like Viv Richards, but he didn't play international cricket. That was a different time with many tour games, and he developed his skills alongside senior players before making his debut. We all know how his career turned out after that,” he explained.
