Michael Vaughan identifies fielding endurance as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's challenge

Summary

Michael Vaughan praised 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for transforming T20 batting ahead of India's T20I series against England starting July 1 in Durham. Vaughan suggested that Sooryavanshi will need to improve his fielding endurance, especially since he may bat after spending an inning in the field. The Rajasthan Royals have limited his fielding time by using him as an Impact Player during IPL 2026. Despite concerns about fatigue, Sooryavanshi has excelled in recent tournaments, including a match-winning performance in the U19 World Cup final and a strong run in the IPL.
