Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has expressed reservations about the appointment of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to a leadership role, stating it is "too early for him." Tendulkar's blunt verdict came during a recent interaction reported by Willow Sports on November 6, 2026.
Sooryavanshi, a promising young talent, has been earmarked for a captaincy position at a junior level. While his skills have drawn praise, Tendulkar cautioned that the responsibilities of leadership at such a young age could hinder his development.
The former India captain emphasized the importance of allowing young players to focus on their game without the added pressure of leading a side. "Too early for him," Tendulkar reiterated, suggesting that Sooryavanshi should be given time to mature before taking on such duties.
