Former India all-rounder Ravi Shastri has issued some golden words of advice to Rajasthan Royals and Bihar cricket with respect to Vaibhav Suryavanshi's development, after he burst onto the scene with a spectacular ton against Gujarat Titans at the tender age of 14.

As a former coach of the Indian national team, Shastri is well aware that Suryavanshi's batting might be micro-managed in order to mitigate the risks from his game. However, Shastri would rather see him continue his care-free, hard-hitting exploits.

"He's young, just let him play. You don't care whether he's 14 years old or 12 years old or 20 years old." said Shastri, via the ICC Review show.

Shastri is averse to terming him the next big thing just yet, as Suryavanshi's bound to face bigger challenges ahead

"People [bowlers] will come up with new things. Once we see him handling that, then you can make a proper judgement," he added.
