'Don't expect too much': Kapil Dev's warning amid the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hype

Cricket great Kapil Dev has called for patience with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after the 15-year-old earned his first India call-up, saying it would be unfair to place heavy expectations on him so early in his career. The 1983 World Cup-winning captain described Sooryavanshi as a "special talent" but said the youngster would need time to adjust to international cricket. "How much he is focused, only he can answer, but to me, he is a special talent," Kapil was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
