Bumrah hasn't been fully fit in any game so far, but only Suryavanshi has been able to take advantage

Don't think Bumrah or any accomplished international player applies himself in IPL. What do they stand to gain? Just make money and no home. Cricketing legacies are not built in IPL.

They do apply themselves... They aren't doing it for legacy. They get a lot of money for doing so

The pressure on players is higher in IPL than any limited overs international bilateral match. The teams, their owners, the management make ruthless calls whenever they have to. They don't have too much patience. It's so result / performance driven. They carry 25-member squads for a reason.

Suryavanshi is arguably 16.5 years old instead of 15. But that doesn't really matter anymore. He is a freak limited overs player, capable of taking apart any bowler in the world now. He is only getting stronger, bigger and better. His skill level is rising fast. I won't be surprised if he debuts for India in the next year or so in T20 cricket.

judging by those chubby cheeks it's likely he's a year off at most. Still an absolute freak.Is this young kid legit, like his age? I see he was apparently 12 when he made his FC debut

My brother is a sports med doctor and once did a medical for a player who was supposedly 28 but was in reality likely 32. This was in football and the player concerned came from a country that was rather renowned for not really having good birth records.

No one can tell for sure but my point is that this isn't one of those chisel jawed hairy adults who often turn out for pakistan and india U19

That's fair enough and I'm aware that there are sometimes players who seemingly fit that description from junior teams.

Whatever it takes!!!
I think India have had pretty rigorous testing and stuff from the time we had NCA set up. Dravid took it a step further and made sure no matter how young the kid is, they only play one U19 world cup.
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are a different kettle of fish on this IMO. Think Pak has better facilities to enable such processes, so probably the best of the 3, followed by Bangladesh and then Afghanistan.

There is no test for age though, and if being an age group star is your ticket out of poverty and birth certificates are easy to fake then people are gonna do that. I'm not judging, youth sport is kinda dumb anyway as a pipeline for talent because most men don't physically mature until their early-mid 20s.
