New Delhi, Feb. 10 -- The England wicket-keeper batter Jos Buttler hailed the 14-year-old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the best player he has ever seen. Buttler's remarks come after Sooryavanshi's record-shattering and match-winning 175 in 80 balls in the Under-19 World Cup 2026 final against India.

Speaking on the 'Love for Cricket' podcast, Buttler called Sooryavanshi the best player he has ever seen and added that if Sooryavanshi is producing such batting brilliance at the age of 14, it's exciting to imagine how good he could be at 16, 18, or 20.

"My statement is he's the best player I've ever seen, 'cause I'm like, who else was doing this at 14 years old? If he's doing that at 14, what's he gonna be doing at 16, 18, 20?...
