Ex-Australia captain Greg Chappell has said that 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi humiliating great bowlers exposes systemic illness within cricket. "Sooryavanshi is the ultimate canary in the coal mine, showing us that the modern environment has been engineered to make bowling extinct," he added. He added that T20 cricket favours batters, which will ultimately alienate the sporting public.
