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.
