New Delhi: The debut of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the IPL in 2025 was outstanding and led to a lot of debate in India. The Rajasthan Royals teenager has scored 252 runs including a world-record century off 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans. His fierce batting and fine performance has drawn comparisons with legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. On 10 April he scored the quickest century by an Indian batsman in IPL history nine days after he made his first milestone. That blistering version was going on; he just made 190 runs in 90 balls in a red-ball practice match at the BCCI Centre of Excellence strengthening his prospects further before the India Under-19 tour of England. Amid all this buzz around Vaibhav a former cricketer Yograj Singh himself presented the other side of the coin in an interview with InsideSport posing one important question. My vision is Test cricket. Can you survive five days? Thats the real test. 50 overs - fair enough. 20 overs - fair enough. I dont go by these formats. But since they (formats) are there you should be fit enough to play all three formats. Why do you struggle? Because you are only concentrating on T20 IPL and 50 overs. Aj toh 50 overs bhi nahi khel sakte hum log (Today we cannot even play 50 overs). Thats the way we are he said. All the coaches and all the administrators want to sit in the air conditioning and do things. Here I am under 48 degrees Celsius having a passion to produce more brilliant cricketers like Yuvraj Singh he added. While Vaibhav Suryavanshis IPL performance impressed many Yograj Singh raised critical questions about it. Can he survive five days? Thats the real test of a cricketer.
