Anil Kumble, the legendary cricketer, has urged caution amid the growing clamour to fast-track Vaibhav Suryavanshi into the Indian team, even as he acknowledged the 15-year-old\u2019s remarkable consistency and temperament.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Barclays<\/i> event on the power of global sport to drive community impact and opportunity at the Cricket Club of India on Friday, the former India captain and coach drew parallels with Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s teenage exploits while emphasising the need to allow Suryavanshi the time to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Sachin Tendulkar came into the scene, every time he walked out as a 14 or 15-year-old, he was scoring hundreds. I am sure what we have seen of Vaibhav, he is certainly doing all the right things,\u201d Kumble said. \u201cAt this point in time, it\u2019s a bit of pressure on a young lad to say, \u2018look, I want you to play for India in two months\u2019 time\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suryavanshi, who turned 15 last month, has seamlessly transitioned from his Under-19 World Cup heroics into the Indian Premier League, where his audacious strokeplay has caught the imagination. Earlier this week, he struck Jasprit Bumrah for a six off the very first ball he faced \u2014 a statement shot that intensified calls for his immediate elevation to India\u2019s T20I side.<\/p>\n

Kumble, however, stressed that talent must be nurtured patiently. \u201cIt may happen, it may not happen, but he has a wonderful time. Even 10 years later, he will still be 25. That\u2019s the best part about someone doing so well as a 15-year-old,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The former leg-spinner also pointed out that cricket offers different pathways to success. \u201cSome start at 15, some at 28, but they still have a role to play. For Vaibhav, it could be this year, next year or maybe a couple of years later. But the way he is batting, I am sure the selectors will be watching closely.\u201d<\/p>\n
