'We're Going To Be Really Patient With Him': Shane Bond On Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Before their match against KKR, Rajasthan Royals pace bowling coach Shane Bond came at the pre-match press conference and showered praise on the 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, calling him talented.

He also reflected on the youngster's poor knock against the Mumbai Indians and said that he will fail sometimes, but he will learn from that. The RR coach further added that the franchise are patient with the cricket prodigy.

"He's had a fantastic start, but he's also going to go through the ups and downs. You know, he's going to fail sometimes, and he's going to have to learn to deal with that, with someone so young. He's obviously a seriously talented player, but he's also still a kid, you know. So, he's sort of learning on the go. We're going to be really patient with him because you have to be," Shane Bond told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
