“And I was in complete awe and I’ve noticed Sachin putting out some tweets about Sooryavanshi’s bat swing and if you can impress Sachin Tendulkar and if you can impress Virat Kohli and the rest, he’s impressed everyone. What an unbelievable talent,” he added.
Sooryavanshi is the latest name in an envious list of batting talents for India in the shortest format with the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan all having featured at the top of the order in recent times.
Despite the competition, Nasser Hussain believes a talent as special as Sooryavanshi cannot be overlooked and feels India must find a place for the youngster in their playing XI.
“So anywhere else in the world you would say get him in. But usually at the toss you just have to name 11 players. In international cricket, who do you leave out for him?
“India have a list of batters they could play and should play, but in the end, someone makes such a case, such a consistent case, and such an incredible case for being picked. In the end, you have to say, I don’t care who we’re leaving out, this lad has to play,” Hussain believes.
