Chennai: Between the rapidly growing list of Splendor Admire is former Australian players Michael Hussey and James Hopes, who are currently on coaching duties in the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings Batting Coach Hussey reserved high praise for Vaibhav, saying the 14-year-old Pocket Dynamite brought back memories of the thrill-one-minute performance of the legendary Adam Gilchrist. “It was incredible, wasn’t it? It was some of these players who come together and when they are batting in the middle, you don’t want to miss a ball,” Hussey said on Tuesday.
“When Gilchrist went out to bat, the entire Australian team will come to the field of watching to watch the game, as such players are just so exciting. I felt that this young child has been seen the same. Seeing him was amazing to see a century score off 30 years balls,” Husi said.
Hussey is “blowing” Vaibhav’s deep ability to go after bowlers without being on his reputation. On Monday, the young man took India’s international including veteran Ishant Sharma to the cleaner during his jaw-dropping knock.
Hussey said, “He and Yashsavi Jaiswal were batting together. It is careless many times, but it is very exciting to see. To be able to play in this way, some of the best bowlers, against some of the best bowlers, it just blows your mind,” Hussey warns that Vaibhav must be surrounded by the right people to go in the right direction. “His life and the world have changed forever. He is going to be so high for weeks or months. He will need good people around him to guide him. He is very lucky for Rahul Dravid (RR head coaches) and some good senior players.”
Who is that IPL player?
Punjab Fast-Bauling coach hopes that ‘Jean Z’ batsmen will face fearlessness. “My eyes were difficult to take off. These children play a separate game in general. They come against the world’s Khalis and Dhonis, but they have no fear. Indian cricket is kept well, especially in white ball formats,” Hope, “we are not just exposed at a young age.
