Suryavanshi bats like sobers: He bats like Gary Sobers, big name of England gave a big statement on Vaibhav

New Delhi. Although the whole world is becoming a fan of Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s batting and his praises are being read, but the kind of comparison and praise given by the former England cricketer and famous commentator tells the whole story in itself. Mark Butcher has created a stir in the cricket world by comparing Indian youth sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi with the greatest all-rounder Sir Garfield (Gary) Sobers. 14-year-old Vaibhav, who has recently surprised everyone with his performance in Ranji Trophy and Under-19 cricket, has now come into the eyes of international experts.

In the circles of cricket, when a teenager is compared with the biggest legends of the game, he is often considered ‘hyped’ but when former England batsman and expert in detail Mark Butcher analyzes a player’s bat swing and footwork, the world has to stop and listen. Butcher recently compared young Bihar batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi with the great West Indies legend Sir Gary Sobers during a video analysis.

Bat swing and footwork: a rare similarity

Mark Butcher, while analyzing Vaibhav’s batting video in depth, said that this 14 year old boy has that ‘natural flow’ which is seen in very few players. According to Butcher, Vaibhav’s bat swing is amazingly straight and fast. He noted that the way Vaibhav goes after the ball, his footwork is reminiscent of Sobers, fast, accurate and balanced. Butcher said, “When you see Vaibhav playing, you do not realize his age. His bat swing is so clean that as soon as the ball hits the bat, it goes out of the boundary like a bullet.

🗣️ “I swear to God it looks exactly the same.” 👀
