royal challengers bangalore goalkeeper Jitesh Sharma explained the intention behind his comments rajasthan royals Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi called it “unprofessional”, a comment that sparked discussion on social media. This sentence was originally associated with AB de Villiers On his YouTube channel, Jitesh was asked to nominate a young Indian player who has huge potential. He immediately chose Sooryavanshi, praising his overall skills and temperament. “AB asked, ‘Which youngster do you think can become an Indian star or player?’ My immediate reply was Vaibav Soriyavanshi. When he asked why, I pointed to his skill, mentality and effort. I told him that Vaibhav can dominate all three formats and he looks very professional on the field. But in reality, he was more than that,” Jitesh said. Later, Jitesh spoke on the RCB Podcast, clarifying the background and highlighting his personal relationship with the 15-year-old. “He’s a good friend of mine. We’re very close and I can call him whatever I want,” he said. He also spoke about Sooryavanshi’s off-field behavior, saying he is a typical teenager who likes the simple things in life. “He’s a 15-year-old kid who loves ice cream. He comes to my room and eats it with me. I don’t eat it, but he does. If a kid doesn’t want ice cream, what else are they going to eat? He comes to our house, talks to my wife, watches videos on YouTube. We’re very close – he’s like a little brother to me.“ Reacting to the backlash, Jitesh brushed off the criticism and stressed that a young man should not be saddled with expectations beyond his years. “I don’t care what people say. People have a lot of professionalism about him because he has to perform at this level, but he’s still only 15 years old. Let kids be kids. When he’s with me, he can be himself because I’m not going to judge him. I told him, ‘You’re only 15. Watch TV, eat whatever you want, focus on your batting.’‘That makes him happy. “
