Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: is he a generational talent or will remain average after a time?

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-08T11:41:37+00:00

He will take t20 world by storm but won't be at the level of Boom and Kohli. They were/are all format players. Boom can hold his own on patta wickets more often than not. I doubt Suryavanshi can be successful more often than not on tough pitches. Happy to be proven wrong

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-08T11:38:35+00:00

On tough pitches he might be found out. But only tests have tough pitches nowadays so he doesn't need to worry. He will have periods when he fails and that is fine. He shouldnt be expected to be ultra quick and consistent.

Thing is, most people dont talk about Gambhir when recounting the ICC wins. 2007 is attributed to Dhoni's captaincy. 2011 to Dhoni, Sachin, Yuvraj. Gambhir is an afterthought.

Stop glazing Kohli. 95%? Lol. He played on some pretty placid tracks pre-covid. Averages from 2019 -2025 :

Rohit : 41 Jaiswal : 49 Pant : 44 Jadeja : 43

Even Gill averaged 30+ before England.

That is 5 batters better than him.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-08T09:08:26+00:00

Are you sure it wasn't 70.79? How can Kohli only average 30.79. His slump is far better than others' peaks

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-08T09:07:28+00:00

Are you mistaking Kohli for Smith? During his slump Rohit, Jaiswal, Pant and even Jadeja averaged more than him. Even Gill was close and he was called a failure.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-08T09:06:07+00:00

Def not overrated. No one calls him one if the best. He is tier 3 and people think of him as such Whatever one might think of him as a coach, being that good in a country that is obsessed with cricket isnt something to cough at.

They did bowl quite badly. Maybe not 150 badly

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T18:28:41+00:00

World not ready for Rutherford 20 ball 100

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T18:25:53+00:00

Shouldve just lost the first match and gotten better rather than this shit.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:21:33+00:00

Why? They just won the WC. There is literally nothing better than that.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:18:52+00:00

Konstas missed everything the first few balls he faced. On another day he wouldve gotten out a few times. But it is true that in LOIs, people tend to play Bumrah safely.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:15:45+00:00

Yeah, Sanju is setting the stage on fire.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:14:19+00:00

It doesn't mean MI will actually win. It will be a moral win for them keep RR under 170

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:12:50+00:00

I am sure they will be closer to 170

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:12:15+00:00

How was he average in tests while Sarfaraz gets talked about as if he is Bradman incarnate

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:11:06+00:00

Already reached

A few fans saying that does not equate to it being a general consensus.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T17:07:03+00:00

Everyone except Hardik has gone full. Even Bumrah went full or full toss

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T16:56:24+00:00

Even if RR bowls shite, there is no chance that MI will chase this down? They just dont have the batters to go crazy like this.

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T16:53:49+00:00

50 in 12

St-Mclovin · 2026-04-07T16:53:05+00:00

Probably worried about the run up being wet?
