Real challenge for Vaibhav starts. He'll handle new found fame and also the teams will analyse. He'll eventually have some failures. How he handles them will be key. In good hands under Dravid.

 

2nd failure in a row now. Team will back him but his mental strength will be tested now

At age like 14 shot selection, decision making are not going to be pristine especially in a format like this. Rahul Dravid was clear about not curtailing him. I understand that. But you can give tips about opposition bowlers. For instance Vaibhav is an out and out swing bowler. So  cross batting against swing can be a low percentage option. This information can be fed to him without telling him to stop playing those shots

Right time to judge him will be after 2 years. Till then, every run he scores is a bonus. Not joking, I don't expect anything from him.

This is where team management and especially Dravid's role will be so important. They've to back him and tell him to choose his shots early in the innings. It's ok for him to be selective in his first 10-15 deliveries coz he's so destructive that he'll be able to damage the opponent when he has his eye in. If he continues go after every ball starting the first ball, he risks becoming a modern version of Afridi.

 

Same is true for Arya, Abhishek, Jaiswal and all of the new-gen breed of destructive openers we have. There's a need to be better risk management to increase their chances of success. Even in a T20 you have to plan your innings and can't be a blind slogger like Pak tullas.

I also blame the OP :whack:

 

He's just 16. Emotions would be high. Don't think we can expect consistency yet. As of now his best chance is to keep attacking

yea he is not a hack like McGurk. He has some clean shots. Just that shot selection is the problem.

Vaibhav still needs to develop off-side game, he tried to hit everything to leg-side. This season he has played with full freedom have to see what he does next season and in domestic level. 

 

This season have been a freee pass there not much of expectation on him either by team or ppl. If he score it was good if he didnt there were no repercussions as his team was already out of the competition in early stages and  it was not upto him to get team to play-offs next season there will be eyes on him with expectations.

I think his first ball in IPL was an off side six. He will evolve far better than Kishan. He has such a great downswing.

Yes, Ishan kishan is not intnl level, do not think he is even top ipl level player. Never compared him to kishan.

wrt to vaibhav he score 61% of his run on leg-side not bad distribution but 82% of his 4/6 came on leg-side and some of the off-side runs are edges to 3rd man

There aren't a direct comparison. Kishan is an all-rounder. He is a wk batsman. Comparing wicket keepers to specialist batsmen.

That doesn't mean anything these days especially in T20 era,wks are expected to be equally good in good infact if they bat well their fumbles behind stumps are spared ,that's a norm

You have to be a good batter first then a good keeper especially in shortest format

Arey all that is ok but we never had any good wk batsman in T20s and a wk can only be replaced by a wk, not by a batsman. So WK's competition is WK, not a specialist batsman. Even around the world, there aren't many wks who can play as specialist batsmen. So what you said is not right. Wks aren't expected to bat like specialist batsmen. If they do, it's a bonus.

Hitting technique is similar to most of the youngsters coming through these days. Prithvi shaw gets cramped playing through onside. This guys give enough room against any line. Priyansh Arya is almost like Travis head in that. He gives just enough room to free his arm.

Wow. This Suryavanshi is such a talent!! Today, he appears to be playing "slowly", not trying to smash everything and still he is scoring at a SR of 190!!!

Jaiswal should be a certainty in T20s. And pick Abhishek followed by Arya, Mhatre and Auryavanshi.

 

All of them are pretty good in T20s. IMO Samson doesn't get in as you would want these players as your opener and have KL as the wk down the order at 5 or 6. That way we can get more explosive openers in the team.
