‘Age ko chhordiye’: Indian pacer from Ireland Jai Moondra makes a big entry on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi – Watch

Jai Moondra accepts Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Ireland-based Indian rider Jai Moondra has joined the growing list of admirers of teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, insisting the youngster’s age should not become a barrier to his international ambitions.Speaking to TV stations ahead of the second T20I in Belfast, Moondra was asked about the furore surrounding Sooryavanshi and whether the teenager’s actions had attracted attention in Irish cricket circles. The left arm stimulator was emphatic in its response. “They say age is just a number. He is playing for India and could get an international cap soon. We saw that he has a lot of potential. Age ko chodhiye woh bohot bada dhamaka bhi kar shkta hai (Age should not be a factor because he is capable of producing something special). Everyone knows what he can do,” and everyone said they wanted to see him play. Now let’s go.Watch:The praise comes at a time when Sooryavanshi’s name is increasingly being discussed as India look to bounce back from a shock defeat in the opening T20I against Ireland.While India suffered a disappointing 34-run loss in Belfast on Friday, the match turned out to be a memorable one for Moondra himself. The Tonk-born pacer, who made his international debut in Ireland, played a key role in helping the hosts register their first ever international win over India.The 29-year-old made an immediate impact, dismissing Sanju Samson with the very first ball of his spell before returning later in the innings to remove Shivam Dube. His impressive figures of 2/25 from four overs underlined Ireland’s disciplined bowling effort.With India facing a must-win encounter in the second and final T20I, Sooryavanshi’s name inevitably came up as a potential option should the management decide to change the batting order. And if Moondry’s assessment is anything to go by, the teenager’s talent is already attracting attention far beyond India’s borders.
