Legendary South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has dropped a massive projection, claiming that teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is destined to surpass the monumental legacies of batting icons Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli by the conclusion of his playing days.
Sooryavanshi emerged as a teenage prodigy after finishing the IPL season with the most runs and winning the Orange Cap. The 15-year-old also broke Chris Gayle's record for most sixes during an IPL season. During the post-tournament award ceremony, Sooryavanshi won the most awards among all players.
