Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took IPL 2026 by storm; he was the most talked about among the opponents and also the former cricketers turned commentators and panelists. The Southpaw was awarded for his excellent performance for an India A call-up for a tri-series in Sri Lanka, followed by a senior team chance for the UK tour and Asian Games 2026.
While speaking on South Africa’s young pool, he acknowledged that he does not see any teenager in his country close to matching Sooryavanshi’s talent and rise. Dale Steyn also feels that he will surpass the legacy of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli if he continues to play like the way he has been.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a different gravy- Dale Steyn
"But one thing I will say is that there is no shortage of talent in South Africa. We have incredible talent coming through the system. There are outstanding Under-19 and Under-15 players progressing through the school circuit." "That said, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a different gravy. He's better than most international players right now. He's a genuine boy wonder and a treasure for Indian cricket."

Apart from praising Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Steyn also cautioned the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to manage and protect the teenage sensation, as it is difficult to find such talent. "So I'd be very careful about how he's managed and looked after. With great responsibility comes great reward, but there's also a risk that you could lose him along the way if he isn't handled properly."
"As for South Africa, no, we don't have a 14- or 15-year-old who can rival him right now. But we do have some exceptional talent, including a lot of players in their twenties who will push through and represent South Africa in the years ahead."
