Vaibhav Sooryavanshi- Tamim Iqbal: As much as Team India is being talked about in world cricket, the same amount of talk is being done about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The reason for discussion about 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is his batting style and temperament.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi came into the public eye for the first time in IPL 2025 after scoring a century in 35 balls. But after that he did not stop. He showed his batting prowess in one series and tournament after another and hit a lot of sixes. Due to his amazing ability to hit sixes, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is being compared with a great Bangladesh cricketer, Tamim Iqbal.Bangladesh wicketkeeper batsman Mustafizur Rahman has done the work of comparing Vaibhav Suryavanshi with Bangladesh's Tamim Iqbal. Mustafizur said that right now the whole world is talking about India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
People are surprised to see the way Vaibhav is hitting sixes at the age of 14. But, I think Tamim Iqbal was also like Vaibhav Suryavanshi. When Tamim was 14 years old, he also used to hit sixes in the same way as Vaibhav does today.Tamim Iqbal's name is recorded among the powerful openers of Bangladesh. He played cricket for Bangladesh for 16 years. He played 400 plus international matches for Bangladesh, scoring more than 15000 runs. During this period he scored 25 centuries.
Talking about the sixes hit by Tamim Iqbal in international cricket, he has hit 189 sixes in international cricket. Tamim Iqbal's strike rate in T20 cricket is 121.16.Talking about Vaibhav Suryavanshi, he is yet to debut in the senior team. But his name is being heard continuously in IPL and junior cricket. Vaibhav Suryavanshi's strike rate in T20 cricket is 204.37, which is much higher than the strike rate of Tamim Iqbal. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has played 34 matches so far, including First Class, List A and T20 cricket, in which he has hit 91 sixes.
