Previously, too, a lot happened, but now everything reaches the whole world in an instant. What Vaibhav Suryavanshi is doing today has never been done before. This is incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or played against such talent in my entire career.
Bhaji mentioned IPL incident

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was unable to play a big innings in the T20 series against England but the team management kept faith in him given his aggressive attitude and confidence.

It is for this reason that despite the initial setback, the selectors and team management see him as a big star of the future.
Now Vaibhav Suryavanshi will have a golden opportunity to prove himself on the Zimbabwe tour. If he can turn his natural aggressive batting into big innings, his place in the Indian team could be cemented. This statement from a legend like Harbhajan Singh clearly indicates that Indian cricket has huge hopes on this 15-year-old batsman in the coming years.
