Former India opener Virender Sehwag says teen batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has a mindset and playing style similar to his own, praising the youngster’s fearless approach. All three outlets report that Sehwag links his “daredevil” reputation to Sooryavanshi’s current performances, particularly his ability to score quickly in T20 internationals.
While the tone is broadly complimentary, the coverage adds different emphasis. NDTV focuses on Sehwag’s view that Sooryavanshi’s thinking matches his and highlights a need for long-term development with the goal of sustained service to India. India Today similarly stresses the comparison and the confidence behind Sooryavanshi’s batting. Times of India adds context about selection competition for opening roles and notes Sehwag’s message that performance should matter more than age when facing experienced players.
