The talent of players like Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Ayush Mhatre, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi was commended by former India player Ravi Shastri. The World Cup champion from 1983 thought they would play for India in the future. Starting with the PBKS openers, Shastri asserted that they slap nearly everything that is thrown at them.
The younger players’ bravery in making effective use of the Powerplay overs pleased Ravi Shastri.
“Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, the two openers for Punjab, also do a fantastic job. “It seems like these young players, who are between the ages of 14 and 17, are hitting it in the first six overs,” Ravi Shastri told the ICC.
The way the 17-year-old Mhatre defeated the MI bowlers in their backyard with some incredible shots pleased him. If Mhatre is managed by the proper people in the coming years, the former Indian cricket player believed he could have a good career.
“The other night in Mumbai, Ayush Mhatre made three shots against the Mumbai Indians. Everyone was drawn to the way he came out and expressed himself in that way, taking off with incredible shots for a 17-year-old against a Mumbai Indians lineup full of superstars. Ayush Mhatre has a future, in my opinion. Looking at him and some of the shots he made, I believe this guy has a lot of potential if he is treated well and is surrounded by the appropriate people,” Ravi Shastri continued.
He went on to discuss 14-year-old Suryavanshi and his very first shot. Shastri, however, believed that the young batter needed to be able to manage setbacks well for his age.
“I believe that everyone would have been in awe at his first shot. However, since he is still young, I would advise letting him play for a while because failure is inevitable at that age. It’s his approach to failure,” the well-known pundit asserted.
The former Indian coach believed that Suryavanshi would face difficulties in the days ahead. After hitting the first ball of his career for a six, he believed the 14-year-old would not receive any leniency from the opposition. He believed that after Suryavanshi overcomes his initial set of difficulties, a judgement can be formed about him.
“New ideas will be developed by people. Numerous brief items will be tossed at him. You don’t show mercy when you hit someone’s first ball for six. Then, it makes no difference to you if he is 14 years old, 12 years old, or 20 years old. What you serve is the same as the menu. He would therefore need to adjust to that, and you can then make an informed decision when we observe him managing it,” Ravi Shastri continued.
