India’s prodigy batter, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, has expressed his desire to play in a dominant fashion for the next two decades. The left-hander said he wants to make a winning contribution for his team whenever he plays and want people to remember him as a game-changer.
Sooryavanshi ended the IPL 2026 season with 776 runs in 16 matches at an average of 48.50 and a blistering strike rate of 237.30. Thus, he bagged the Orange Cap award along with the MVP of the season. He also won the Super Striker and Emerging Player of the season award.
Thus, he earned his maiden India call-up after an impressive run in the lucrative tournament.
“I have thought that for the next 20 years, as long as God gives me the chance to play for my country, for a franchise and for a team, I want to play in a way that people remember. Whenever people think of matches, they should say that whenever this player played, he could finish the match on his own.”
“That dominance should be seen because I am working hard for that. Not just playing and finishing games. I want to dominate for 10-20 years and play good cricket. I started cricket because I enjoy it. So I want to enjoy my life and play well,” Sooryavanshi said in an interview with Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Sooryavanshi also expressed his desire to play in the red-ball format for India at the top level.
“A lot of people think about whether I want to play red-ball cricket or not. So I answered that. Sir, I have practised a lot with the red ball. For my state, I have played a lot with the red ball. And I want to play red-ball cricket because I practise red-ball cricket.”
“This is why I bat in this format because this is the need in this format. I will change my batting according to the requirements of red-ball cricket. I will change according to the needs of ODIs. My dream is to play in all three formats. God knows what else,” Sooryavanshi added.
Sooryavanshi is expected to be India’s third opener for the UK tour.
