Corrected the technical flaw of pull shot
Manish Ojha told that Vaibhav was facing a small technical problem while playing the pull shot, due to which he was not able to convert big scores into centuries. The coach noticed that while hitting the pull shot, Vaibhav’s head would tilt backwards and his back knee would press slightly. In this situation, he could easily play the balls coming on the body, but the short balls outside the off-stump would get the upper edge of his bat. The coach advised him to pull balls outside the off-stump, keeping his head straight and towards the ball, which would give full extension of the arms and bring more power to the shot.
Did wonders at the age of 14
Vaibhav is not even 15 years old yet, but his figures at the senior level look like those of a legendary player. He already has four centuries to his name in domestic cricket, which includes an IPL century and a Vijay Hazare Trophy century. Coach Ojha believes that Vaibhav’s batting has improved tremendously in the last one year. His highest score in domestic T20 is 144 and in List-A is 190 runs. The coach said that Vaibhav’s biggest quality is his ability to learn, he is the only one among hundreds of students who never needed to be scolded, because he understands technical things very quickly.
Away from glamour, Vaibhav’s focus is only on sports.
Despite getting so much fame at a young age, Vaibhav is being kept safe from the glamor of the boy wonder. Since the last IPL, his schedule has been so packed that he has not got a chance to pay attention to the things of the outside world. He has been continuously busy in Under-19 tours, tournaments like Asia Cup and Ranji Trophy. The coach and parents believe that he is still a child, so the family often stays with him during his matches to avoid feeling homesick. His simplicity and his concentration towards the game make him a big star of the future.
