‘He’s been flooded with’: Ravi Shastri reveals role of Rahul Dravid in Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s success

Ravi Shastri was on the commentary panel during the match, and stated that Rahul Dravid – the head coach of IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals- has been a mentor to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and has taken the responsibility to guide the youngster.

“In fact, I was speaking to Kumar Sangakkara at the back of the box yesterday and he said he’s been flooded with endorsement offers already, but how he’s handling it is very important,” Shastri said.

In a video shared by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their social media, Vaibhav Suryavanshi spoke about his innings and revealed his next goal. Referring to Test captain Shubman Gill and his hunger for runs, Vaibhav said, “I got a lot of inspiration from him because I watched his game. Even after scoring 100 and 200 runs, he kept playing and kept taking the team forward. I had in mind that I could have played longer because I had a lot of time left. There were 20 overs still remaining. There was one shot where I didn’t give my 100% and that’s why I got out. I will try to play for a long time like him.”
