Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is all set to make his senior men's international debut, and at just 15 years of age, former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes the teenage sensation should simply enjoy the experience of representing his country. Sooryavanshi has taken the cricketing world by storm with a string of record-breaking performances. Despite his young age, the batting prodigy has shown remarkable composure under pressure, consistently delivering when his team has needed him most. As he prepares for the biggest step of his career, Ashwin believes the youngster should focus on enjoying the game before the inevitable pressures of international cricket begin to mount.

"He's a 15-year-old kid, who I personally believe should have fun playing the game, just like you would in the gullies from his hometown," Ashwin told BBC. "He's not going to have a long road ahead of him where he's going to play without pressure. It will eventually catch up, because it will turn into work, but as of now, I would love for him to have fun and entertain all of us," Ashwin added.

Ashwin also heaped praise on Sooryavanshi's exceptional talent, highlighting his ability to adapt against experienced bowlers despite his limited age and experience. "I think he's special. When you watch someone special, you know it straight away," Ashwin added. "What stood out with Vaibhav was not just the way he's batted, but it's also how he's been able to make subtle adjustments with respect to some senior bowlers coming after him," Ashwin concluded.
