Introduction

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 15 years old. He plays for the Rajasthan Royals. People are talking about the IPL rules because of him.

Main Body

Vaibhav is an impact player. He only bats. He scored 440 runs in 11 games in 2026. He wants to play in the field too. Sanjay Manjrekar is a famous cricketer. He thinks this rule is bad. He says players must field to become great. If they do not field, they do not learn how to handle pressure. Manjrekar also talks about money. Some players do very little work but get a lot of money. He thinks this is wrong. Players must be good at batting, bowling, and fielding for international teams.

Conclusion

Some people think the rule helps teams win now. Other people think it hurts players in the future.

  • He →\rightarrow scored →\rightarrow 440 runs.
  • Manjrekar →\rightarrow thinks →\rightarrow this rule is bad.

💡 Quick Tip: Now vs. Before

Notice the two types of time used here:

  1. Right now (General Facts): "He plays..." (Use this for hobbies or jobs).
  2. In the past (Finished): "He scored..." (Use this for things that already happened).

🚩 The "Contrast" Word

To reach A2, you need to connect different ideas. The text uses "But" (implicitly) and "Other people" to show two sides:

  • Side A: Rule helps teams win →\rightarrow VERSUS →\rightarrow Side B: Rule hurts players.
