Vaibhav Suryavanshi handed brutal reality check, dismissed for a golden duck in India vs England U-19 Youth Test
Vaibhav Suryavanshi had a rare early dismissal as he was removed for golden duck on Day 4 of the ongoing second Youth Test between India U-19 and England U-19. Suryavanshi, who was in hot form in IPL 2025, was given a brutal reality check as he tried to go for a pull shot off the first delivery, but ended up chopping it to his own stumps. Vaibhav Suryavanshi dismissed for a golden duck. The dismissal came at a crucial time as India were set to chase a target of 355 runs and Suryavanshi was opening. Despite his golden duck, CSK star Ayush Mhatre took control, and built on his opening role. Mhatre slammed 126 off 80 balls, and clattered 13 fours and six sixes. Meanwhile, Abhugyan Kundu (65) also got a half-century as India posted 290/6 at Stumps. Recently RR Director of Cricket Operations, Kumar Sangakkara opened up on how his side discovered Suryavanshi. Speaking to Sky Sports Cricket, he said, 'Vaibhav Suryavanshi had already shown himself to be a very special talent. In 2023, one of Rajasthan Royals' analysts sent through a text saying, 'there's a very special player we need to watch, get to the trials and look to sign'.' 'The first time I saw him live was after we had signed him, in the nets in Guwahati, batting against Jofra Archer and the other seamers that we had. And he made it look very, very easy. He had a lot of time,' he added. Speaking on his batting skills, the Sri Lankan legend said, 'The sound off his bat was like a gunshot every single time he contacted the ball. His bat swing is lovely, it's nice and wide outside the off-stump. And it's very free-flowing. He's got a lot of time, his movements are very, very simple and minimal, and he's very enthusiastic about developing his shot repertoire.'

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Falls For Golden Duck In Youth Test As India U-19 Face Stiff 355-Run Chase
In a stunning twist during the high-stakes Youth Test between India U-19 and England U-19, the prodigious Vaibhav Suryavanshi faced an unexpected low, getting dismissed for a golden duck. However, his captain Ayush Mhatre rose to the occasion with an electrifying counterattack, keeping India's improbable chase of 355 alive on the final day. Golden Duck for Vaibhav Suryavanshi vs ENG U19 — Varun Giri (@Varungiri0) July 23, 2025 The 14-year-old batting prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who had lit up IPL 2025 with his fearless strokeplay for Rajasthan Royals, suffered a shocking dismissal on Day 4 at Chelmsford. Walking in with high expectations, Suryavanshi attempted a trademark aggressive pull shot on the very first delivery he faced from England pacer Alex Green. The result? A misjudged stroke that chopped the ball back onto his stumps, silencing the Indian camp and triggering early pressure in a stiff chase. It was a rare blemish in Suryavanshi's meteoric rise, and a reminder of the patience and discipline demanded by red-ball cricket. But given his age and temperament, the talented left-hander is widely expected to treat this as a stepping stone in his development rather than a setback. Captain Ayush Mhatre Ignites the Fightback with Scintillating Century With India reeling early in their mammoth fourth-innings target of 355, skipper Ayush Mhatre showcased nerves of steel and unleashed a counterattacking masterclass. Known for his aggressive instincts, Mhatre blazed his way to a 126-run knock off just 80 balls, peppering the boundary ropes with 13 fours and six towering sixes. His fifty came off just 25 deliveries, and the acceleration didn't stop there. From audacious pull shots to elegant drives through cover, Mhatre's innings was a blend of brute power and tactical awareness. His strike rate of 157.50 in a red-ball Test underlined the shift in approach modern-day U-19 cricketers are embracing — fearless, fast-paced, and fluid. Notably, this performance comes hot on the heels of his IPL signing with Chennai Super Kings, and if this innings is anything to go by, CSK may have unearthed their next middle-order powerhouse. Vihaan Malhotra and Abhigyan Kundu Hold the Fort While Mhatre stole the spotlight with his breathtaking hundred, crucial support came from Vihaan Malhotra and wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu. The duo rotated the strike smartly, absorbed pressure, and stitched valuable partnerships that kept the scoreboard ticking. Their composure helped India narrow the deficit, leaving just 128 runs to chase with sessions to spare. Kundu's presence behind the stumps and with the bat has been vital throughout the series, while Malhotra's game awareness and calm demeanor have made him a promising asset in India's youth setup. England Bowlers Under Pressure Despite Early Breakthroughs Alex Green, who dismissed Suryavanshi with the new ball, initially gave England the edge. However, their bowling unit appeared rattled by Mhatre's onslaught. Fields were spread, lines became erratic, and the Indian batters capitalized on every scoring opportunity. As the final session looms, the contest has become a fascinating tactical battle — can England's bowlers regroup and deliver under pressure, or will India script a famous chase?
