Recently in the city of Mumbai, for the very same event in which Australia’s legendary all-rounder Shane Watson was present besides greats like AB de Villiers, a certain Sourav Ganguly was present as well as an eminent guest of the event. Together, the trio created a different spark altogether and made the conversation centred around the Sport really come out well and alive in front of legions of fans in the doting city of Mumbai. And how could it be that the subject of Cricket was discussed with the element of batting with there being no question around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? It simply could not have been.

So on this very pertinent occasion, India’s former captain and cricketing icon of all times, Sourav Ganguly was asked about his opinion on Sooryavanshi.

No, he is no ordinary Cricketer in any which way? For someone who debuted in the IPL at the 13 would go to score the fastest 500 runs in the competition ever by the age of 15 as seen earlier this year. And what’s more? Upon the completion of the 2026 edition, Sooryavanshi would end up scoring several over 700 runs, scoring in excess of 770 runs, to be precise.

Some of the things that have really got the attention of critics and fans, and in the positive where it comes to the daring left hander point to the element of sheer fearlessness with which the Bihar born cricketer operates. He seems to be absolutely unafraid of the consequences or so it seems. He goes out there, operates with a significantly higher element of bravery, backs himself to go for his shots and just expresses himself with the cricket bat.

It could he shared that that’s the sort of thing that’s struck a chord even with the great Sourav Ganguly, who had the following opinion to give on the young left hander-

When asked about how should the young cricketer be handled, then the man idolised everywhere as Dada happened to share a fairly simple and thus, uncomplicated insight. Ganguly shared- “I think we should let him be. He is only 15 years old. I don’t think he is the sort of player who bothers too much about pressure. And that’s what we get to see him as seen in the IPL!”

And somewhere you ought to say that Sourav Ganguly is absolutely right when it comes to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s approach and mindset. It’s fairly simple. And he doesn’t believe in overcomplicating the plot. Maybe that will be just the approach that he follows where it comes to representing the Indian men’s national cricket team.
