Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Names Cricket Teammate Abhishek Sharma as Ideal Tennis Doubles Partner

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi said he would love to team up with Abhishek Sharma for a tennis doubles match if the opportunity arose. The teenage cricket prodigy was at Centre Court to watch the Gentlemen’s Singles Final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, which Sinner won in four sets.

When asked about his preferred doubles partner, the 15‑year‑old chose Sharma because the left‑handed batsman is his opening partner in international cricket. Sooryavanshi highlighted the importance of coordination in doubles, a quality he already shares with Sharma.

“I will go with Abhishek bhaiya. He is my opening partner in international cricket. I really enjoy batting with him, so I will choose him as my doubles tennis partner as well,” Vaibhav Sooryavanshi told JioStar.

Sooryavanshi also shared his admiration for tennis, noting that he has followed the sport for several years.

“I have been following tennis for the last four to five years. I used to watch Nadal and Djokovic a lot. Now I am a big fan of Djokovic, but both of them are players I have always followed closely,” he added.

Abhishek Sharma Picks Rafael Nadal as His Favorite Tennis Player

Abhishek Sharma, who was also at the Wimbledon final, said his favorite tennis player of all time is Rafael Nadal. Sharma, a left‑handed batter, feels a particular connection to the Spanish champion.

“It was actually one of my dreams to come to Wimbledon. And to be here on finals day makes it even more special. I am just going to enjoy the match and soak it all in. I always looked up to Rafael Nadal. He is a lefty like me, and one of the most successful left‑handed players in tennis history. His work ethic, his attitude, and the way he dominated the sport for so many years – he is definitely someone I admire,” Abhishek Sharma said on JioStar.

Both Sooryavanshi and Sharma were part of the Indian squad that suffered a 4‑0 T20I series defeat to England. Sooryavanshi, in his debut series, scored 42 runs across three matches, while Sharma managed a half‑century and a 40‑run knock before the series concluded.
