His 151 runs across three matches made him the leading run-scorer of the series and earned him his first Player of the Series award.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/> While Sooryavanshi&#8217;s fearless stroke play has already made him one of India&#8217;s brightest young prospects, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/laxman\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laxman<\/a> said improving his overall fitness would be crucial for the youngster&#8217;s long-term growth.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> &#8220;The one area we want him to improve is his overall fitness,&#8221; Laxman said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/> The former India batter also highlighted Sooryavanshi&#8217;s commitment and desire to contribute to the team, pointing to an incident during the third T20I when the teenager wanted to continue despite suffering an injury while attempting a diving catch at deep square leg.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/> &#8220;He&#8217;s a very young boy. He himself wants to get better in every aspect of the game. Even today, when he got injured (while attempting a diving catch running in from deep square leg), he still wanted to stay on the field. It was our physio who asked him to come off. That&#8217;s the eagerness and earnestness he has to contribute in every possible way to the team,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/> Laxman has closely monitored Sooryavanshi&#8217;s development over the past year through his role as the BCCI&#8217;s Head of Cricket. The youngster flourished under his guidance during India&#8217;s victorious ICC Men&#8217;s Under-19 Cricket World Cup campaign earlier this year, finishing as the tournament&#8217;s highest run-scorer with 439 runs and being named Player of the Tournament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/> The Zimbabwe series was another significant step in Sooryavanshi&#8217;s rapid rise. Having already impressed during his two seasons with the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rajasthan-royals\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rajasthan Royals<\/a> in the Indian Premier League, the left-handed opener once again showcased his ability on the international stage, underlining why he is regarded as one of the country&#8217;s most exciting batting talents.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/> Despite the accolades, Laxman&#8217;s message was clear: refining his fitness levels will be a vital part of Sooryavanshi&#8217;s journey as he looks to build on an already impressive start to his career.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-vs-zimbabwe\/want-him-to-improve-his-overall-fitness-vvs-laxman-identifies-key-area-for-vaibhav-sooryavanshi\/articleshow\/132653164.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (ANI Photo) Vaibhav Sooryavanshi&#8217;s dazzling performances against Zimbabwe have earned widespread praise, but stand-in India head coach VVS Laxman believes the teenage sensation still has an important area to develop if he is to fulfil his enormous potential.
