'Don't Spoil Like Prithvi Shaw': Vaibhav Suryavanshi Given Massive Warning

'Don't Spoil Like Prithvi Shaw': Vaibhav Suryavanshi Given Massive Warning

NDTV4 days ago
Young Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi is rising through the ranks with his dominating show in the world of cricket. At the age of 13-years, the left-handed batter hogged lime light for being picked for a mammoth sum of Rs 1.1 crore at IPL 2025 auction that was held in November last year. He got his opportunity in the T20 extravaganza this year and stunned all with his batting ability. Suryavanshi, who by then became 14 years old, scored 252 runs in 7 mathces, while also becoming the fastest Indian to score a century in IPL history. He achieved the feat in just 35 balls.
As IPL concluded, Suryavanshi continued to spread his charm in under-19 cricket. He shone with scores of 48, 45, 86, 143 and 33 in the Youth ODI series against England before smashing 14 and 56 in the 1st Youth Test against the side.
At such a young age, Suryavanshi has already got a superb fan following. Commenting on the popularity that the player is getting, many users on social media said that he should not suffer the same fate as Prithvi Shaw's.
Shaw also emerged as one of the rising batting sensations in India, but lost his fame with time after failing to live up to the expectations.
He should continue this, not spoil like Prithvi

This to much fan following and paparazzi at this young age can lead to bad performance in future. We have already seen an example of Prithwi shaw.

Recently, two girls by the name of Aanya and Rivaa travelled for 6 hours just to get a picture with Suryavanshi. Both girls wore the Rajasthan Royals shirt as they met the 14-year-old India star.
Even the official X (Twitter) highlighted the incredible fan story on social media.
"Proof why we have the best fans. Drove for 6 hours to Worcester. Wore their Pink. Cheered for Vaibhav & Team India. Aanya and Rivaa, as old as Vaibhav himself, had a day to remember," Rajasthan Royals' handle wrote.

‘Test cricket demands discipline': Rishabh Pant told to save risky shots ‘for IPL' by Farokh Engineer

Speculation is rife about whether Rishabh Pant will be able to keep wickets or not during India's fourth Test against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Pant injured his finger while keeping wickets on Day 1 of the dramatic third Test. Pant was forced off the field and Dhruv Jurel took the gloves for the rest of the match, with the former, however, still playing a crucial role with the bat in India's first innings. It remains to be seen whether he will recover in time to take the gloves in the fourth Test at Old Trafford and former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer has said that Pant could play as a pure batsman. However, he needs to reduce the number of risky shots he goes for. 'Absolutely. Save those (risky shots) for IPL. Test cricket demands discipline,' Engineer, who 46 Tests for India between 1961 and 1975, is quoted as saying by RevSportz.'From a number three or four, you expect them to play proper cricket, get big scores, and build innings. Rishabh has scored centuries in both innings of a Test, which is remarkable. So yes, he could play purely as a batsman, especially with England's strong bowling lineup, now including Jofra Archer and Atkinson.' Pant has scored 425 runs at an average of 70.83 in the series thus far, making him the second highest run scorer after captain Shubman Gill. Engineer said that the fact that he had joked about Pant's shot selection with him and the latter said that he just does whatever he feels is right in that moment. 'For the runs he's scored, yes, he can play as a pure batter. But Rishabh is unpredictable. Whatever comes to his mind, he does it. I joked with him about his shot selection, and he just laughed—said he does what feels right in the moment. He has the confidence and has gotten away with it often. But he needs to be more responsible in crucial moments, like right before lunch or at the end of a day's play. Still, he's immensely talented. He invents his own shots, and thankfully, helmets allow that now. In our time, we wouldn't have had any teeth left,' he added.

Nishant Dev defeats LaQuan Evans, wins his third professional boxing bout

Indian professional boxer Nishant Dev continued his winning start to his professional boxing, registering a win via technical knockout (TKO) in his third career bout against USA's LaQuan Evans in Texas on Saturday. He was fighting in the undercard of the bout between Jesse Rodriguez and Phumelela Cafu. It was a dominant win for the Indian boxer from Haryana as he landed clean blows from the first round. While Evans started attacking, Nishant did well to evade his initial punches and pushed him in the corner to land some clean blows. He continued this strategy of cornering Evans and landing punches on him throughout the bout. While Evans held off for the five rounds, in the sixth round an upper cut from Nishant caught Evans off-guard resulting in him loosing the footing. In his last action, Nishant unleashed a flurry of punches and completely overwhelmed Evans. With one minutes and two seconds left on the clock, the referee intervened to declare Nishant winner by TKO. Nishant forces the stoppage in the sixth and final round 👏 #RodriguezCafu — Matchroom Boxing (@MatchroomBoxing) July 19, 2025 A technical knockout or TKO is called when a boxer is unable to continue the fight safely due to any injury or is unable to defend themselves safely. This is third career win for Nishant who turned professional in January winning his debut bout against Alton Wiggins by knockout. He then registered an unanimous decision win over Josue Silva in his second bout last month. Nishant is a former Olympian and World Championship medallist who signed with Eddie Hearn led boxing promotion Matchroom Boxing in January, months after his heartbreaking loss to Marco Verde of Mexico in the 2024 Paris Olympics quarterfinal. Pursued by his coach Ronald Simms, Nishant decided to quit on the Olympic dream and follow his childhood dream of becoming a professional boxing. Earlier in an interview with the Indian Express, Nishant mentioned, 'I was talking to Ronald during that time, and he asked me to travel to the USA and train with him for a few days. This was the same time around last year when the future of boxing was uncertain in the Olympic programme. A lot of people in the boxing community recognised me because of the quarter-final bout and also because I had fought USA's Omari Jones in the first Olympic qualifiers.' After training in the US for three months, Nishant received a call from Eddie Hearn, the British promoter who heads Matchroom Boxing. 'When Eddie called and asked me to join… I didn't think twice. It was about realizing the dream I saw as a 15-year-old when I stepped in the boxing ring for the first time.'
