If you want to make your son a cricketer like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, then start cricket coaching at the age of 7 years, know from expert coach Devdutt.

Delhi: IPL 2026 has started and many matches have taken place so far. As soon as IPL starts in India, an atmosphere like cricket fever starts among the Indian people. In such a situation, there is talk in every house of India that they will make their children a cricketer and their child will also play for Team India. In such a situation, when parents talk about these things, it is very important for them to know what is the age at which parents should send them for professional cricket coaching. So that he can go ahead and become a big cricketer again. The Local 18 team discussed all this with Devdutt, the head coach of the Indian Deaf Cricket Team. Let us tell you what technical things he shared with the team of Local 18.

7 years is the right age for training

Devdutt first told Local 18 about the love there is for cricket in India at this time. Seeing this, every parent wants their children to play cricket and there is a lot of money and respect in it. Therefore, every parent wants their children to join cricket as soon as possible, but they said that if the parents want their child to become a big player, then as soon as their child turns 7 years old, they should leave their child to learn cricket under a professional cricket coach.

At the same time, he also said that sometimes it happens that even small children have a lot of natural talent, so if the coach says that your child is playing very well at the age of 4-5 years, then the parents should start coaching him for professional cricket from then itself. So that he can become a great cricketer in future and make the Indian team famous.

Can play IPL at the age of 14-15 years

Devdutt further said that right now it is being seen that the players are showing great interest in playing IPL continuously. That’s why coaches like us also start preparing players to play IPL from the age of 12, 13, 14. He said that at the age of 15 to 17 years, a player should become such that he can play IPL and if a player gets a chance in IPL at the age of 20 to 21 years, then he can also perform well.

At the same time, Devdutt also said that behind all these arguments and claims, there is a complete example and a complete proof of a player like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has played IPL at the age of only 14 to 15 years. He said that this happens only then. When the player has extra talent. As he has said earlier also, if a child starts showing that he has extra talent at the age of 4 years. Only if he becomes a big player in future, players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi will emerge.
