The Story in Brief
Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has waded into the age controversy surrounding teenage cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying his talent matters more than questions over his birth date. Lee noted the debate is a major talking point outside India but urged focus on the player's performances. Sooryavanshi, who turned heads with a 97-run IPL knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad, later earned a T20I call-up and won the Player of the Series award in Zimbabwe. Lee cautioned that managing the intense attention around his rapid rise will be a bigger challenge than batting form.
The Indian Opinion
The age debate around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi feels tiresome. He has performed on big stages, against top bowlers, in the IPL and for India. Instead of celebrating that, critics outside India cast doubt. Brett Lee is right: the boy can play. The real test is how he handles the noise. Let his bat do the talking, not his birth certificate.
