3 fours in 1 over and OUT: Vaibhav Suryavanshi fails to fire in 1st Youth Test vs England
NEW DELHI: He arrived with intent, played a few crisp strokes, found the boundary rope early, and was then sent back — that summed up Vaibhav Suryavanshi's outing in the opening match of the Youth Test series against England Under-19s.
Coming off a stellar run in the Youth ODIs, the young batter showed flashes of his talent but couldn't turn his promising start into a meaningful score.
Walking in with confidence, the right-hander immediately made his presence felt, cracking three boundaries in the very first over — all off England pacer James Minto — briefly putting the hosts under pressure.

But just as he looked to settle, England's Alex Green delivered the breakthrough.
Vaibhav was dismissed for 14 off 13 balls — a short but eventful innings marked by three boundaries and a strike rate of 107.69.
Caught by Ralphie Albert off Green's bowling, the early dismissal was a setback for the 14-year-old, who had hoped to carry his white-ball momentum into the red-ball format.
However, with one innings still potentially to come, Suryavanshi may get another opportunity to make his mark in the longer format.

Do you think Vaibhav Suryavanshi will have a successful career in red-ball cricket?

That knock, featuring 13 fours and 10 sixes, powered India to a formidable total.
Suryavanshi finished as India's highest run-getter in the series, amassing 355 runs in five matches at an average of 71.00 and an incredible strike rate of 174.02.
