Delhi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young explosive batsman for the Indian cricket team, has already made a name for himself in the cricket world at the age of 15. Following a strong performance in IPL 2026, he earned a place in India’s T20 team and also proved his batting prowess during the Zimbabwe tour.
Like most cricketers, former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is impressed with Vaibhav’s game. He praised the young batsman, saying that he has the potential to achieve great things in the future. However, he also advised against putting too much pressure on Vaibhav.
Brett Lee said that there’s a lot of discussion about Vaibhav’s age, but people should focus on his game rather than his age. He said that this kid knows how to play cricket. He is a great find for India and will achieve great things in the future.
Lee also mentioned Vaibhav’s batting in IPL 2026. He said that Vaibhav batted fearlessly even against fast bowlers and hit brilliant shots on short balls.
Vaibhav scored 776 runs in 16 matches in IPL 2026 and won the Orange Cap. Following this, he earned a call-up to the Indian T20 team. He had a poor start in the England series, but made a strong comeback during the Zimbabwe tour, earning him the Player of the Series award.
According to Brett Lee, there’s no need to worry about Vaibhav’s batting or form. The biggest challenge for him will be mental stress. He said that Vaibhav should be allowed to remain a child and not be burdened with too many expectations.
Vaibhav has been in the headlines ever since he became an IPL star at the age of 15. Now, with his inclusion in the Indian team, he will be under even greater scrutiny. Therefore, handling the pressure he faces off the field will be crucial for him.
Brett Lee also praised Vaibhav’s batting against fast bowlers. He said that in the IPL, Vaibhav faced Australian fast bowlers and played freely against short balls.
Lee also jokingly remarked that if he were bowling to Vaibhav himself, he would definitely bowl a fast bouncer and see how the young batsman reacts. However, Lee’s most important point was that Vaibhav’s biggest challenge in the future will not be bowling, but managing the rising expectations and pressure.
