BCCI Instructed To Protect Vaibhav Suryavanshi Like Sachin Tendulkar, Can't Afford Vinod Kambli, Prithvi Shaw Downfall

Former India coach Greg Chappell has urged the BCCI to nurture 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who recently made headlines with a 35-ball century in the IPL, making it the second-fastest in the tournament's history. Chappell emphasized the importance of providing Suryavanshi with a robust support system, akin to what Sachin Tendulkar had, to ensure his talent is cultivated responsibly. He cautioned against the pitfalls that befell prodigies like Vinod Kambli and Prithvi Shaw, whose careers were marred by off-field issues and lack of guidance. Chappell's message underscores the need for careful management of young talents to prevent premature burnout and to foster long-term success in Indian cricket. (PC: NDTV Sports & Hindustan Times)
