"Don't look for next Tendulkar....": Kedar Jadhav on comparisons between Sooryavanshi and Indian icon
May 08, 2026
Jadhav was speaking in an interview to the Olympics.com. Sooryavanshi has been sensational for RR and India U19 so far and has wreaked havoc on bowlers both in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and at U19 level, aside from his domestic cricket exploits. Sooryavanshi is the fifth-highest run-getter this season and RR's highest, with 404 runs in 10 innings at an average of 40.40 and a strike rate of 237.64, including a century and two fifties. The 15-year-old prodigy, the youngest player in IPL history, has not shown any hesitation in taking down the world's best, including Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood among other bowlers.
