Formula One's young star Arvid Lindblad hailed teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as part of a new generation of young athletes flourishing across global sport.
Sooryavanshi, 15, recently made his T20I debut for India, becoming the youngest Indian player, while other teenage phenoms like Lamine Yamal (football) and Kimi Antonelli (F1) are also setting the stage alight. Lindblad credits this spurt of young superstars to the advancement of technology. "We get better information from an earlier age, and that is why there are really good youngsters who are doing really well. This happens in all sports, even in cricket, with Vaibhav [Sooryavanshi] doing really well. He is so young. I think this is just the nature of sport," Lindblad, who drives for Racing Bulls, told Sky Sports.
