Suryakumar Yadav Wants Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Six-Hitting Power in His Game

Suryakumar Yadav has revealed the one skill he would borrow from any cricketer, and it is not a classical stroke from a batting great. The India batter says he would love to add Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s six-hitting to his own game, a striking endorsement for a teenager who has taken Indian cricket by storm this year.

A Teenager Rewriting the Record Books

At just 15, Suryavanshi has already rewritten several records, including a century off 35 balls. In the 2026 IPL he hit 72 sixes, overtaking Chris Gayle’s single-season record, and scored 776 runs to claim the Orange Cap. He is also reported to be the youngest player to reach big six-hitting numbers in both international cricket and the IPL, a sign of how quickly his reputation has grown.

Yadav was speaking on the Humans of Bombay YouTube channel, where he was asked which skill he would take from another player. He is often linked with the 360-degree style popularised by AB de Villiers and has previously admired Virat Kohli’s cover drive, Sachin Tendulkar’s straight drive and Ricky Ponting’s pull shot. This time, he set all of those aside and described Suryavanshi as a “young lad whose name is now known everywhere.”

Yadav’s Leadership and Comeback Hopes

Asked how teammates would sum him up in a single word, Yadav replied “leader.” He captained India to the 2026 T20 World Cup title but was later removed from the captaincy and the national squad. Now 36, his chances of a recall have narrowed, although reports suggest a strong domestic season could revive his hopes with the selectors.

Opinion among fans remains divided. Some want a swift return for the experienced batter, while others believe India’s growing pool of young, fearless hitters, with Suryavanshi at the front, should be given the chance to lead the next chapter. Either way, Yadav’s admiration shows how much respect the teenager has earned across generations.
