    Brathwaite Urges Caution In Handling Suryavanshi’s Meteoric Rise

    By IANS News April 26, 2026 • 11:02 AM View: 203
    Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Carlos Brathwaite has called for a careful approach in managing teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He believes the young player should be developed gradually instead of being rushed into international cricket, especially after his impressive performances in the IPL.

    “I apologize, Vaibhav, but if you look at how West Indies handled Brian Lara, he was a generational talent. Everyone knew that,” Brathwaite said on ESPNCricinfo TimeOut show following Suryavanshi’s stunning 37-ball 103 for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls.

    Brathwaite pointed out how Lara was nurtured within the system before taking on international competition. “So what did West Indies do? They put him with top players like Viv Richards, but he didn't play international cricket. That was a different time with many tour games, and he developed his skills alongside senior players before making his debut. We all know how his career turned out after that,” he explained.
