New Delhi: At the age of just 15, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made a special identity in the world of cricket with his aggressive batting. His fearless style is visible even against big and experienced bowlers. In such a situation, the biggest question before the bowlers is what can be the right strategy to stop this young batsman?

Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has shared his opinion regarding the bowling strategy against Vaibhav. According to him, adopting a defensive attitude in front of Vaibhav can prove costly for the bowler.

It is necessary to be aggressive against Vaibhav

Harbhajan Singh believes that bowlers should not prepare the field out of fear of Vaibhav's batting. Instead, they should rely on their bowling power and try to take wickets.

According to him, if the bowler continuously thinks about stopping runs then he can come under pressure. Therefore, it is important to have an attacking mindset from the beginning in front of an aggressive batsman like Vaibhav.

Don't change your plan even if you get a six.

There is definitely a risk in aggressive bowling against Vaibhavjan. A young batsman can easily send even a bad ball out of the boundary, but according to Harbhajan, if a six is ​​hit on one ball, the bowler should not abandon his strategy on the next ball. That means the bowler will have to try to take a new wicket on every ball. Getting nervous about a good shot by the batsman and changing the line and length is not the right approach.

'Considering Vaibhav as a child is the biggest mistake'

Harbhajan Singh has described Vaibhav's achievements as extraordinary considering his young age. He says that it is not normal to play without fear in front of the world's biggest bowlers at such a young age.

Vaibhav's specialty is that he is not influenced by the big names of the opposition team. Due to his aggressive game, even experienced bowlers are forced to think before bowling the ball.

Young age, big confidence

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's game shows that age does not always determine the limit of talent. His confidence and aggressive batting on the field makes him different from other young players.

Harbhajan's advice simply means that instead of bowling out of fear against Vaibhav, bowlers should attack. He will have to try every ball to get this young batsman out.
