Mark Butcher compares Vaibhav Suryavanshi to Gary Sobers : “The first thing that flashed in my head was Gary Sobers. The violence in the bat swing, the timing and the purity of the contact. The hand speed, the way that he uses his legs on the ground. The way that the bat literally follows through all the way around until it slaps him in the middle of his bat is pure Sobers.” (Wisden)
