Former India batter WV Raman suggested that Vaibhav Suryavanshi following the traditional route to international cricket despite his staggering success at a very young age could eventually hinder his progress.

Suryavanshi, who has done well for India A and also in the Indian Premier League, is currently representing the Indian team in the U19 World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, Raman believes that this could have a deleterious effect on Suryavanshi's growth. While Raman said that the Bihar batter could win India a few games at the U19 level, it would not help him in the long run.

“This could be an unpopular opinion. #Suryavanshi has performed extremely well in the A series and the IPL. Making him play at the U-19 level is likely to be detrimental to his growth. He may win matches no doubt, but it should always be about the big picture!” Raman wrote on 'X' (formerly Twitter).
