Former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik Warns against making comparisons. Rajasthan Royals With young Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sachin TendulkarHe said that the young man will face various challenges in his career.I am playing for Rajasthan Royals. Indian Premier League 2026, the left-handed opener scored 579 runs in 13 matches and currently tops the run-scoring charts with a strike rate of 236.32.“What Vaibhu is doing is very special, but what I don’t want is for people to tag him as the next Sachin because he is only 15 years old and doing what he is doing. I think what Sachin did was exceptional. Vaibhu’s challenges will be completely different.”“Sachin’s challenges will be as much as they were off the field, but Vibhu’s challenges will definitely be more off the field, because he has a lot of cricketing skills, which comes out of the game,” Karthik said in an upcoming episode of the Quest Talk podcast, as quoted by news agency IANS.Karthik, who is currently the batting coach and mentor of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru, also spoke about how the IPL has changed since its inception in 2008.“The IPL, from its inception to what it is today, is a completely different beast, and the game seems to have grown on steroids because so many things have changed.“The amount of data and metrics used has been quite phenomenal; it’s the fastest growing format ever, and it’s a lifestyle for a lot of people. And it looks like a very strong career option for any young boy or girl who chooses to play the game. And it’s competing with other sports tournaments around the world,” he added in a very short span of time.
