“I feel that if he continues to play like this, he will definitely break into India’s T20 squad in 1-2 years,” he added.Suryavanshi has already played for India U-19s and made his first-class debut in January 2024. Ojha said Suryavanshi is a naturally gifted cricketer with a crystal clear thought process.

“We have coached him, but he had the natural gifts. He has a learning attitude, whatever is suggested to him, he learns immediately. He has been a very aggressive player since beginning.

He likes to play shots,” he said“Two years back at the academy, there was a practice session, I told him why don’t you take ones and twos, he said that ‘if I can hit sixes, there is no need for singles‘,” he added.“He had clarity in mind from an early stage. He has a clear thought process on how to play, how to approach the game,” the coach concluded.
