No child's play: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should know that Zimbabwe T20Is will be as tough as the ones in England
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 14, 13, and 15 in three T20Is against England, showing six-hitting skill but issues with short-pitched deliveries and patience.
The 15-year-old batsman faces a Zimbabwe attack including Blessing Muzarabani, Brad Evans, Richard Ngarava, and Sikandar Raza.
Zimbabwe recently stunned Australia and Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup under Sikandar Raza's captaincy.
Sooryavanshi must adjust to Harare conditions, which are unlike Indian pitches, and temper his flamboyant style.
He needs support from captain Shreyas Iyer and interim coach VVS Laxman to avoid failure triggering a BCCI grooming review.
