Mumbai, May 17 -- Former India coach Ravi Shastri has urged selectors to be bold and thrust teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi into the international setup as soon as possible.
Fresh off his starring role in India's triumph at the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup at the start of the year, Sooryavanshi is piling on the runs in the Indian Premier League with the Rajasthan Royals.
He scored a superb 36-ball ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad last month and has another two half-centuries to his name to sit near the top of the run-getters list this season.
The left-handed opener has amassed 440 runs from 11 innings at a staggering strike rate of 236.56. This includes a whooping 40 maximums - more than any other batter so far this season.
