‘Criticising him after just 2 or 3 matches not justified’

‘Criticising him after just 2 or 3 matches not justified’

3 min readJul 21, 2026 07:31 PM IST Ahead of the T20I series against India, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza lauded teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying he could become a generational talent if managed well. Raza also said that criticizing the 15-year-old player after an ordinary start to his senior career was not justified. Sooryavanshi had made his highly anticipated debut in the England series in the second T20I after replacing Sanju Samson. He was given three matches, including the 3rd and 4th T20Is but was ultimately replaced by Samson for the 5th match. Sooryavanshi scored 14, 13 and 15 in the three matches in the series which India ultimately lost 4-0. “Vaibhav is a supremely talented cricketer. If a 15-year-old kid is playing international cricket, criticising him after just two or three matches isn’t justified. I think Vaibhav has a lot of very good senior cricketers around him. If he is managed and handled well, I think Vaibhav could be a generational talent,” Raza said on JioStar. “To see what he has done over the …

Toxic actor slams trolls criticising Kiara Advani over Tabaahi song while praising Yash: ‘Seriously? He’s also married’

Points out double standard in praising Yash Benedict pointed out that Yash is married too, adding, “You see, Yash, he’s also married, he also has children. So why is only the woman getting the abuse, while the man apparently gets the applause? Listen, here’s the reality check. They are actors. Their job is to act, to portray characters, to make you believe that they are in love, even when they’re not. Their job is to tell stories that reflect the human experience.” He also wrote in his caption, “The backlash over the Tabahi music video says far more about society than it does about either actor.” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
