Manoj Tiwary stated that many countries are envious of India’s success and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in particular, because of his surreal rise at a young age. The former Bengal captain’s remarks came while he was reacting to Sooryavanshi’s scuffle with the Sri Lanka A players during the ongoing tri-series.

Sooryavanshi pushed Sri Lankan cricketer Vishen Halambage after India A lost the Super Over against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla on Monday, June 15. Halambage, who had been reportedly sledging Sooryavanshi from the start of the tri-series, has been sanctioned, but the Indian batter hasn’t been penalised.

Tiwary said that Sooryavanshi has to decide how he wants people to perceive him. The former India cricketer said that the 15-year-old can either follow the footsteps of Sachin Tendulkar or Rahul Dravid and exude calmness, or else, he can embark on Virat Kohli’s route and be aggressive.

“Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has to understand a little. There will always be verbal battles against us on the pitch, because there are many countries that are jealous of us. So, they will provoke you. The way Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s IPL campaign went, and the way he is moving forward and getting everything, so they will poke him more. The way a 15-year-old is progressing, they are jealous of it. So, we have to prepare him for it,” the former batter said on Cricbuzz.

“It is upto him what kind of image he wants to create in the cricketing world. One path is like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who are generally calm people, they answer through performances. The other route is like Virat Kohli, people who are aggressive. Now he needs to decide how people want to perceive him. Anger is important, but it is important to point it in the right direction,” he continued.

“He scored only 30-40 runs today, so it is affecting him” – Manoj Tiwary on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s form in tri-series in Sri Lanka

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was dismissed for 38 off 28 balls in India A’s must-win clash against Afghanistan A on Wednesday. Tiwary said that the incident with Halambage is affecting the youngster’s performance and urged him not to go outside the laws of the game.

“No one will take action against him for this, but he must realise what he has done. No one wants to see an emerging player be involved in pushing and shoving. The more he plays, the more he will understand about the conduct in the field. But under any circumstances, he should not go outside the laws of the game. People are watching him, and his behavior will be noted. He scored only 30-40 runs today, so it is affecting him, as he did not score as much he should have” Manoj Tiwary concluded.
