He mentioned that he had witnessed so much anticipation around a youngster back in his childhood when the legendary Sachin Tendulkar set foot in Australia for the first time in his career.
A career as long as Sachin's not only needs an early debut but also promising form over a span of two decades, remarkable consistency, prowess in performance, and a considerable amount of fitness. Now, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi moving close to an international debut at the age of 15, fans have drawn a comparison with the legendary Indian batter.
Sooryavanshi has been backed by several greats of the game and has been declared suitable to make a debut in senior men's international cricket, despite his young age of 15. Witnessing this, Clarke recalled that he had last witnessed such hype when a 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar first set foot on Australian soil and put on a masterclass.
“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.
Former Australian great suggests Sooryavanshi is not yet ready for red-ball action.
“I don’t think anybody’s saying he can walk into Test cricket and be, well, I hope nobody’s saying he can walk into Test cricket and be one of the greats tomorrow,” he said.
“Now, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get picked at some stage. If he keeps scoring runs, no matter what format, he’ll play T20 cricket for India, one-day cricket for India, and hopefully Test cricket for India,” he added.
“And then the challenge is going to be to adapt," Clarke reflects on the biggest challenge for the RR youngster.
However, Clarke pointed out that international cricket would force him to adjust to different conditions across the globe and would be a massive learning experience for young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as he would have to adapt to the tempo of all three formats of the game.
