Vaibhav Suryavanshi departs after fiery send-off from England pacer following explosive knock
Vaibhav Suryavanshi (L) and Jack Home
New Delhi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14-year-old left-handed batsman had yet another impressive performance of strokeplay in the second Youth ODI between India U19 and England U19 in Northampton on Monday. England captain Thomas Rew chose to bowl first as Suyavanshi hammered 45 runs in only 34 balls.
Suryavanshi hit a swift-paced 45, with five fours and three sixes in it and he was all set to take the game strongly in the hands of India. Nevertheless, his potential innings were ended in the 11th over as he was dismissed by pacer Jack Home.
The young English speedster also had rubbed it in that when he sent Suryavanshi on his way he asked him to go and get changed in the dressing room.
It was understandable that, Suryavanshi took him to the cleaners earlier and Home reacted accordingly. The left hander smashed 18 runs off only eight balls against the England pacer. However, it was a matter of who said the last word because it was Home who rejected the Indian opener and stopped his aggressive innings.
Suryavanshi anchored the India team with No.3 batter Vihaan Malhotra after the early setback of losing the captain Ayush Mhatre in the opening over. The visitors were controversially put on the back foot when the Indian skipper was out in the first ball he faced.
Mhatre was sent off early when AM French bowled him with a sharp delivery sending his stumps flying. On being sent in to bat, India was able to score 290, but got out in less than 49 overs. Vihaan Malhotra (49) was the best batsman of the visitors, and England had a star player with the ball in the person of AM French, who bagged four wickets.
Suryavanshi's impressive performance in first ODI
Vaibhav had already caught the attention of everyone, hitting 48 runs off 19 balls in the very first Youth ODI against Suryavanshi. His attacking tactics at the one-down position, contributed significantly to assisting India to reaching the target of 175 without any trouble.
Vaibhaiv Suryavanshi's spectacular IPL
The left-handed hitter became an overnight star at the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) where he featured in the Rajasthan Royals. The youngster scored a century against the Gujarat Titans, breaking fastest-ever century by an Indian in the history of the T20 league, was all made headlines by him.
In the IPL 2025 season, Suryavanshi scored 252 runs in seven matches with an average of 36 with a sensational strike rate of 206.55.
Even prior to the IPL, Suryavanshi had played in U19 Asia Cup representing India.

Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings could target THESE three players in IPL 2026 trade window
With the IPL 2026 trade window set to open from July 4, Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, are expected to make strategic moves after a disappointing 2025 season. Chennai Super Kings experienced their worst IPL campaigns in 2025. They finished last in the points table with just eight points in 14 games. The lack of steady openings by their opening batsmen placed the middle order under untimely pressure during matches. The veterans were unable to sustain strike rates as per the demands of modern T20 cricket and younger batters had no experience and purpose in their roles. The bowling of CSK was toothless at the important moments during the season. The spin department which was previously the strength of CSK also failed during spin friendly conditions and that is reflected in their poor performance overall. Mitchell Owen, the Australian all-rounder who was signed by Punjab Kings as replacement of Glenn Maxwell, could only play one match in IPL 2025 because of its already dense overseas contingent. The attacking top-order batter with medium-pace would be a perfect addition to CSK. The young aggressive batter is something Chennai is aiming to be in the next edition with Chennai hopping to reassemble it with players like Dewald Brevis, Ayush Mhatre, and Urvil Patel in associative with Owen. Mahipal Lomror, who was once represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru, was snapped up in the IPL 2025 auction by the Gujarat Titans, but he was not used. Lomror is a balance and all-rounder, a middle-order batter able to contribute left-arm spin as well. Since the pace battery of CSK has depended heavily on youngsters in Anshul Kamboj and the sore limbs of Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet can be a reliable alternative, considering his familiarity with the set up of the franchise.

Bengaluru stampede: Setback for Karnataka govt as CAT quashes IPS officer's suspension
Bengaluru: In a setback to the Karnataka government, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has set aside the suspension order of senior IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash in connection with the June 4 stampede in Bengaluru. The stampede occurred on June 4 in front of the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the RCB team's IPL victory celebrations. Eleven people died in the crush and over 50 people were injured. The order was passed on Tuesday by a CAT Division Bench comprising Justice B.K. Srivastava and Justice Santosh Mehra. The Bench also directed the state government to reimburse all allowances and restore facilities to the officer. Senior IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikas, who was among the five officers suspended in connection with the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, had moved the Central Administrative Tribunal challenging his suspension. Vikash Kumar Vikash was serving as the Inspector General and Additional Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru City (West), moved the tribunal challenging the state government's suspension orders. He was deputed as the incharge of the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the stampede occurred. He had contended that the state government had made him a scapegoat in the incident. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on June 5 ordered the suspension of five officers, including those of the Circle Police Inspector of the Cubbon Park Police Station A.K. Girish and Assistant Commissioner of Police C Balakrishna, Deputy Commissioner of Police of central division Shekhar H Tekkannavar, and Commissioner of Police Bengaluru city Dayananda. Defending the police suspensions, CM Siddaramaiah had said prima facie those who have not fulfilled their responsibility properly have been suspended. The suspension order said, "It is found that there has been on the face of it substantial dereliction of duty by these officers." The Central Administrative Tribunal court in Bengaluru, had earlier issued a notice to the state government over the suspension of the senior IPS officer in connection with the stampede.
