WV Raman urged cricket enthusiasts around the world to be patient with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and to allow him time to learn from experience. The 15-year-old is still very new to domestic cricket and has just received his maiden call-up to the Indian team after stunning performances against legendary bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sooryavanshi has been named in India's squads for the T20I series in Ireland and England and the subsequent Asian Games later this year. The southpaw is in line to become the youngest player to have made his debut for India. Sachin Tendulkar currently holds the record, having made his international debut at the age of 16 years and 205 days. Sooryavanshi is expected to break this record easily, as he just turned 15 in March.
While the cricket fraternity is excited to see what achievements Sooryavanshi can achieve in his career, Raman advised them not to put him under undue pressure by weighing him down with their expectations.
"Let's not take a crystal ball and try to assess what he can become. Things will pan out because he has done well in two back-to-back IPL seasons. He has shown he is not afraid of taking on the best in the business. Experience is obviously a tough teacher because it punishes you first and teaches you the lessons. So, along the way, he would be punished by experience, and then he'll be taught lovely lessons too. Age is on his side. Just allow him to play his cricket," WV Raman was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Sooryavanshi is currently in Sri Lanka, where he is playing for India A under Tilak Varma's leadership. However, the opening batter hasn't been at his best in testing conditions. He also got involved in a heated altercation with the Sri Lanka A players in the fourth match of the tournament, which was decided in the Super Over. Sooryavanshi pushed Vishen Halambage, who had reportedly been sledging him since the first meeting between India A and Sri Lanka A.
In four matches, Sooryavanshi has scored 117 runs at an average of 29.25 and a strike rate of 153.95. The teenager would want to finish the campaign on a high with a big score in the summit clash on Sunday, June 21.

IND vs AFG: The reason behind India's unusual 5/0 start while chasing (Source:jioStar)
Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi inadvertently cost his side five crucial runs during the third ODI against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai after repeatedly running on the protected area of the pitch.
The incident occurred during the 40th over of Afghanistanโs innings. Shahidi, who was batting brilliantly and went on to score his maiden ODI century, had already been warned multiple times by the on-field umpires for running in the danger area of the pitch. Despite the warnings, he once again ran through the protected zone while completing a single.
As a result, on-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Rohan Pandit penalised Afghanistan under the Laws of Cricket. The single taken by Shahidi was disallowed, and five penalty runs were awarded to India. The decision proved costly for Afghanistan as they looked to post a competitive total against a strong Indian bowling attack.
According to Law 41.14 of the MCC Laws of Cricket, batters are prohibited from running on the protected area of the pitch, a 5-foot by 2-foot strip located in the centre of the wicket. The law is designed to prevent damage to the surface, which could unfairly affect the contest between bat and ball.
For a first offence, the batting side receives an official warning. Any subsequent infringement by either batter results in a five-run penalty being awarded to the fielding side. Additionally, any runs completed on that delivery are cancelled.
Despite the setback, Shahidi played a captainโs knock and remained the standout performer for Afghanistan. He scored a well-compiled 102, while Azmatullah Omarzai contributed 50 runs. Afghanistan were eventually bowled out for 218 in 44.2 overs. Indiaโs bowling attack was led by Prasidh Krishna, who delivered a match-winning spell of 5/23 in 8.2 overs.
The Men in Blue had already secured the three-match ODI series with victories in the first two games. Indian captain Shubman Gill played a pivotal role in those wins, scoring a half-century in the opening ODI before following it up with a commanding 150 in the second match to help India take an unassailable 2-0 lead.

KK vs VSS: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Ashwin Hebbar
The Vijayawada Sunshiners captain Ashwin Hebbar has been on fire and has taken a commendable lead on the list for the highest run-getter in the tournament. In five innings, he has amassed 348 runs at an average of 69.60 and a strike rate of 207.10. Hebbar will look to continue his purple patch on Sunday.
Probable Best Bowler: T Bharath
T Bharath has been one of the most impressive bowlers this season in the APL. In four matches, he has picked up 10 wickets at an average of 12.30. He has been a bit expensive but with the amount of wickets he is taking, the Sunshiners wouldn't mind.

How did Match 14 of the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 go between Australia Women and Netherlands Women?
Australia Women continued their dominant run in the ICC Womenโs T20 World Cup 2026 with a comprehensive 98-run victory over Netherlands Women at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on June 20.
After being asked to bat first, Australia posted a formidable total of 219/6 in their allotted 20 overs. The batting effort was led by Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner, both of whom scored impressive half-centuries. Iris Zwilling was the standout performer with the ball for the Netherlands, finishing with figures of 3/52, while Caroline De Lange chipped in with 2/39.
Chasing a daunting target of 220, Netherlands Women showed some resistance but never seriously threatened Australiaโs total. They finished on 121/3 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target. Babette de Leede was the bright spot for the Dutch side, scoring a fighting unbeaten 56 and holding the innings together. Kim Garth was the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets and playing a key role in restricting the opposition.
Best Batting Performance of the Match: Beth Mooney

Australian opener Beth Mooney was the top batting performer of the match, scoring 74 runs off 42 balls, including nine fours and one six, at a strike rate of 176.19. She also shared a 101-run partnership for the third wicket with Ashleigh Gardner, with the stand coming in just 53 balls.
Best Bowling Performance of the Match: Kim Garth
Right-arm pacer Kim Garth was the standout bowler of the match, returning figures of 2/20 from her four overs. She claimed the wickets of Heather Siegers and Phebe Molkenboer. Meanwhile, Lucy Hamilton also impressed with the ball, maintaining an excellent economy rate of 3.20 runs per over.
Who won the Player of the Match award?
Beth Mooney was named Player of the Match for her brilliant half-century. The Australian opener scored 74 runs off just 42 balls before being forced to retire hurt. Her explosive knock, which included nine fours and a six, put Australia in a commanding position and nearly helped the team equal the highest total in Women's T20 International history.
Records broken and milestone achieved
Iris Zwilling conceded 52 runs in her spell, the most runs ever conceded by a Netherlands women's bowler in a Women's T20I innings, surpassing the previous record of 46 runs.
The 96-run partnership between Sterre Kalis and Babette de Leede is now the highest third-wicket stand for the Netherlands Women's team in Women's T20Is.
When is the next match?
Australia Women will face Pakistan Women on June 23 in Leeds. Meanwhile, Netherlands Women will take on South Africa Women on June 25 in Bristol.

[WATCH] ENG vs NZ 2026: Dinesh Karthik provides insightful lessons in wicketkeeping (Source:SkySports)
Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik established himself as one of the finest wicketkeepers in the country during his playing days. Post-retirement, he has been serving as a coach and as a commentator as well, offering valuable insights and helping develop teams.
In a recent video shared by Sky Sports during the second Test between England and New Zealand at the Oval, Karthik, donning a London Spirit jersey, was shown explaining the biomechanics and techniques of wicketkeeping. This comes after England debutant James Rew has been a point of discussion over his keeping in the innings.
The erstwhile stumper-batter was seen undertaking wicketkeeping drills with broadcaster Ian Ward and was explaining the techniques and stances while wicketkeeping.
"Always have your head in line with your toes or probably slightly ahead. Not too far out or not too far behind. One of the reasons, and I think James Rew should be working on, is at times his head, his weight is behind. As a wicketkeeper, you almost need to be like a boxer in the balls of your feet. That will give you the best chance to move in a lateral way," Karthik explained.
In keeping, it's not funky, fancy drills. It's about easy drills, but you're doing it repetitively. Keeping is all about repetition. The more you practise, the better you get," he added.

Karthik will be with the London Spirit in the 2026 Men's Hundred as their batting coach and mentor. He joins head coach Andy Flower, with the pair having seen a successful stint with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, lifting their elusive maiden title and helping them successfully defend it in the following season.
For England , Rew is making his debut after wicketkeeper Jamie Smith pulled out to attend the birth of his second child. The highly rated prospect from Somerset has had an ordinary showing behind the stumps and scored 24 in the first innings, getting out to a short ball from Will O'Rourke.
