Rajasthan Royals promising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed all and sundry with his aggressive display of batting in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Even some experts went to the extent of comparing Suryavanshi with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Though fans are not ready to wait anymore to see Suryavanshi in the Indian team, some experts have advised BCCI not to hurry in calling Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the Indian team.
Former India spinner and BCCI selector Venkatapathy Raju feels that fans and the board should wait for some time before Suryavanshi is seen in India clothing.
"He (Suryavanshi) will take a lot of time. He has to be one of those guys who needs to do well in U-19 World Cups. He has to perform quite a bit in domestic cricket and four-day games. And we can give time. See, talent-wise, we've already seen him, what he can do with a white ball, right?" said Raju in a recent interaction.

Moreover, Raju also downplayed Suryavanshi's comparisons with Tendulkar, reminding the legendary player's domestic performance before his India debut.
"It depends on the consistency, right? We might talk about somebody like Sachin, right? First, Ranji Trophy debut, he got 100. Duleep Trophy, he got 100. Rest of India, he got 100, right? All three-day games. All four-day games. All five-day games. So, like that, I think when you know the talent, we should give him enough time to go and play, do well, and you feel that he's really good enough and he can perform, why not? We can still bring him in," said Raju.
