Games in Ireland have been sell outs since last 2, tours.  This ground has much smaller capacity (upto 6k) than Malahide Dublin.

 

Will be interesting to see how Sky sports does a build up on him.

Goras are busy with FIFA so most interested will be Indians

 

They will follow both.

Who goras? They don't care about bilateral limited overs cricket.

Pretty much stands would be full of Indians.  Swann even joked about it

It happened in 2022 as well when our limited overs series coincided with FIFA WC no one gave a damn in England.  Even English players were apparently watching those games and Sky broadcast was talking about it.

 

If it were test matches then it would be different.

They would hype a marquee series like that heavily and there would be so much interest.

But that is the power of vaibhav lol Dailymail never covers Indian matches if it doesn't involve ENgland. Least of all an Ireland series with India. But that is their front news

Kid is surely has got them talking, it would have been something had he arrived in a non fifa season.

Daily mail cricket news section will obviously cover him. It's a tabloid.

 

Just imagine if it was a test series.  His arrival would be marketed like he is second coming of Sachin himself.

People in pubs would be talking about him.

You'll be surprised. Goras are in awe and the word spread from English folks who were following IPL. They can't wait for Sooryavanshi to make his debut as they know he's something special.

Was this done in IPL or even WPL

 

 

 

Those are English rules I guess. In India nobody does so. TBH we never had a player make a debut under 16 years.

I don’t think England did either. These are pre emptive things

Wasn't the WC in December and the series in the summer?

He actually is. I have always believed that Sachin was a better batsman than his stats. He didnt have the mental resolve and also able partners. Not so with Suryavanshi. If given a chance, he'd be better than Sachin

Sachin was technically most gifted player India ever produced who had every conventional shot in his armory to go with all the god gifted talent and skill.

 

Vaibhav is a T20 phenomenon whose biomechanics are totally different.  He  could be Sehwag Warner Gayle mixed combo, he is there to thrill.  Boom or bust.

He will be a 45is average batsman with high impact.

As long as he win us some SENA tests he could average in early 40's for all I care..

 

India should use him as their own Warner/Gayle right at the top or at 3.  Funnily places with good pace and carry might suit his hit through the line game play.

His role will be that of Travis head.  Travis proably will retire after a very short impactful phase. But during this phase he won many critical games in variety of conditions despite not having the perfect technique.
