Michael Clarke compares Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hype to Sachin Tendulkar: ‘Haven’t seen this before’

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 7, 2026 01:59 PM IST “Well, I haven’t seen this before. I haven’t seen a 15-year-old doing this.” Former Australia captain Michael Clarke perhaps summed up the disbelief around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi better than most after the teenager’s extraordinary rise in IPL 2026. Speaking on Beyond23 Cricket Podcast, Clarke compared the scale of the hype around the 15-year-old to the early days of Sachin Tendulkar, while also cautioning against rushing expectations around the youngster’s future in Test cricket. “You know, I think back, and again, you can’t compare. Two very different players. But I remember Sachin Tendulkar coming to Australia as a 17-year-old and, mate, that hype was real. I think he was 16. Was 16. And that hype was earned. That legacy is there for everyone to see,” the 45-year-old said. Sooryavanshi has become one of the biggest talking points of the IPL season, with his fearless strokeplay and composure drawing attention far beyond India. He has made 404 runs in 10 matches for RR in IPL 2026 at a strike rate …

Kailash Kher refuses to sing on demand at award show, schools host: ‘Sachin ko bologe ek chakka laga ke dikha?’

It’s a common sight at public events, hosts casually asking singers to belt out a few lines to entertain the audience. But for acclaimed singer Kailash Kher, this practice ‘undermines the dignity’ of an artist. At a recent awards show, the singer firmly refused such a request, delivering a message about respecting musicians and their craft. Kailash Kher gets angry, slams people for making artists a clown. Kailash Kher criticised host asking him to sing at an event On April 25, Kailash attended the seventh edition of Six Sigma Leadership Summit in Healthcare, held at Taj Palace, Delhi. During the award show, when the host asked him to sing a few lines, Kailash appeared visibly displeased and responded, “Yahi main badalna chahta hoon, yahi mere mann main lalak lagi hui, yahi badalna hai. Ki gayak ko, sangeet ko aise naa mana jaaye ki sir do line aa gaa dijiye, mood bana dijiye. Yeh bahut galat hai. Yeh request hi mat kijiye (This is exactly what I want to change—this is something I deeply feel about. …

Jonty Rhodes after Shreyas Iyer’s catch: ‘Feel like the grandfather of fielding now’ | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Apr 18, 2026 11:37 AM IST In a moment that has now gone viral from the Indian Premier League’s 2026 season, Shreyas Iyer took one of the best catches of the league’s 19-year history to dismiss Hardik Pandya at the Wankhede Stadium. The reaction from Mumbai players like Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma immediately after Iyer sent the ball back inside the boundary ropes with a superhuman aerial effort was enough to demonstrate just how impressive the catch was. Even though cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was among the many former players gushing about the catch, Iyer joked that no one was patting him on the back for that catch. Now, Iyer has received praise for the catch from the authority in all matters of fielding: Jonty Rhodes. In a post on X, Rhodes said that he had felt like the ‘father of fielding’ for a long time, but these days when he sees efforts like Iyer’s, he begins to feel like the ‘grandfather of fielding’ instead. “Watching Shreyas Iyer perform that acrobatic …

3 min readApr 15, 2026 11:40 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the toast of the season in the Indian Premier League (IPL), with his utterly astonishing exploits with the bat making as many headlines around the world as the fact that he is only 15 years old. All this came after being the driving force in India’s U19 World Cup victory earlier this year, before which he turned heads simply because of being picked up in the IPL as a 14-year-old first and then nearly breaking Chris Gayle’s record for fastest T20 century of all time. All of it has led to the now 15-year-old being in line to make his debut with the senior Indian team. If he does so, he will be the youngest India debutant of all time in men’s cricket, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar who famously made his debut in a Test match against Pakistan in Karachi in 1989 at the age of 16 years and 205 days. However, amid all the noise, former Australia captain Aaron Finch has cautioned …

‘Kisi ko kuch prove nahi karna’: Arjun Tendulkar on dogs, Boost ad, and why he sat with the ball boys | Cricket News

Five dogs in Goa. No social media. Friends who don’t follow cricket. A camera he refuses to smile at. Arjun Tendulkar — three weeks married, first day at a new franchise, Lucknow instead of Mumbai — is trying to explain what comfort zone means to him. Speaking on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel before the start of the IPL season, the interviewer suggests leaving one is a big deal. Arjun disagrees, quietly. “Comfort zone se nahi nikla hoon main. Idhar bhi maza aa raha hai.” Same enjoyment, different city. His face doesn’t change when he says it. He is twenty-five, carries the most famous surname in the history of Indian sport, and none of that, he is telling you, is the point. There is a version of this story that writes itself — the son emerging from a giant shadow, the weight of a name, the struggle to be seen. Arjun knows that version. He has been living adjacent to it his whole life. He declines to perform it. “Kisi ko kuch prove nahi karna. Main …

Once exotic, now IPL mainstream: Evolution of the lap shot from the days of Douglas Marillier to AB de Villiers and Rishabh Pant | Cricket News

3 min readMar 25, 2026 10:55 AM IST Indian audience of a certain vintage would remember Sachin Tendulkar kneeling down and lap-sweeping medium pacers on sluggish tracks of the subcontinent at the wink of this century. Australia’s cricket chroniclers claim the legendary aboriginal cricketer Johnny Mullagh played a stroke on one knee, wherein, ”the ball would touch the blade, and shoot high over the wicket-keeper’s head to the boundary,” a report during his tour to England in the 1870s read. Zimbabwe’s Douglas Marillier and Australia’s wicket-keeper Ryan Campbell produced intrepid versions of the lap sweep. Scoop to some pundits, and sweep to some others, but the stroke has existed in the fringes of the game before T20 cricket made it integral to the canvas of ambitious batsmen. But none perfected, polished and popularised it as AB de Villiers. He cut the risk out of it by making it look as normal a stroke as a cover drive or a flick. He had so much time that he began the elaborate movements just at the microsecond …
