Shikhar Dhawan champions young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, emphasizing performance over age. Dhawan lauded the teenager's fearless batting against top bowlers, a rarity at his age. Sooryavanshi's impressive IPL 2026 stats, including 400 runs at a 238.10 strike rate and 37 sixes, back Dhawan's praise. However, Dhawan acknowledges the challenge of breaking into India's strong top order.
