Ex-India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik opined that ex-West Indies captain Brian Lara would have been pleased if he had RR's 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's power-hitting. “He was a genius...but his backlift was slightly different. Lara’s backlift was high as well, but when Sooryavanshi brings the bat down, he generates a lot of power. His head is also very still,” Karthik added.
