Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Reaction Can't Be Missed After Fiery Send-Off By England Pacer
India's Under-19 team made a commanding start to their five-match Youth ODI series against England with a six-wicket win at Hove, chasing down 175 in just 24 overs at the County Ground, Hove.
The star of the show was 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who blazed 48 off just 19 balls in his debut innings on English soil, smashing five sixes and three fours to set the tone for India's emphatic victory.
Suryavanshi, already a record-breaker as the youngest century-maker in men's T20s thanks to his Indian Premier League (IPL) heroics for Rajasthan Royals earlier this year, looked unstoppable during his brief but electric stay at the crease. He and captain Ayush Mhatre added 71 in 7.3 overs for the second wicket, dismantling the English attack before Suryavanshi holed out off Ralphie Albert after an explosive cameo.
India's chase had its stumbles after Suryavanshi's departure, losing a few quick wickets, but wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu steadied the innings with an unbeaten 45 to see the visitors home with 26 overs to spare.
Earlier, England opted to bat but were bundled out for a modest 174 in 42.2 overs. Only Rocky Flintoff (56) and Isaac Mohammed (42) offered resistance. Mohammed, making his debut, sparkled briefly with four sixes and three fours in a 28-ball onslaught, showcasing his talent with aggressive strokes before falling attempting one big hit too many.

Yashasvi Jaiswal gives it back to Ben Stokes after England captain sledges him, argument continues for two balls
Yashasvi Jaiswal is not the one to back away against the opposition's best. It became evident when he sledged Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Further proof came on Day 1 of the second Test against England when Jaiswal got involved in a bit of argy-bargy with Ben Stokes. This time, however, Jaiswal wasn't the one initiating it. It was the England captain who decided to have a few words with the young Indian opener, who simply responded. Ben Stokes and Yashasvin Jaiswal exchange words during India vs England 2nd Test All of it transpired in the 19th over. Stokes, after being slapped in tennis style by Jaiswal for four in the fourth ball, brought his length back slightly in the next ball. It was also closer to the stumps. Jaiswal tapped it with soft hands and set off for a quick single. As he was running past Stokes, the England captain said something. As Stokes was walking back to his mark, Jaiswal said: "You don't wanna hear it from me, come on." Stokes heard this, he turned back and asked: "You don't wanna what?" The exchange of words continued in the next ball. Stokes bowled another back-of-a-length delivery, Karun Nair defended it. Stokes, instead of going towards the ball, took a couple of steps towards Jaiswal and asked: "What were you saying?" IND vs ENG Live Score This time, Yashasvi Jaiswal decided to walk away without escalating the matter. Stokes said something again but when he saw Jaiswal walking towards the other end, he decided to go back. The frustration for England against Jaiswal is understandable. The left-hander hit another fifty to stand tall and take India to 98 for two at Lunch. He has played 7 Tests against England and he has a 50-plus in each one of them. Yashasvi Jaiswal played a composed yet increasingly confident innings, remaining unbeaten on 62 at lunch. He started cautiously on a dry, batter-friendly pitch, especially after the early dismissal of KL Rahul, who chopped onto his stumps for 2. Partnering with Karun Nair, who was promoted to No. 3, Jaiswal gradually opened up, accelerating the scoring as the duo added 80 runs off 90 balls. He showcased his growing authority with a range of attacking strokes, including an inventive overhead volley off Ben Stokes and a stylish overhead cut to bring up his half-century off 58 balls. His knock featured 10 boundaries and reflected both maturity and flair. Though Nair's dismissal just before lunch halted India's momentum, Jaiswal's innings stood out as the backbone of the session, laying a strong platform after a testing first hour against disciplined English bowling.

Gautam Gambhir finally gets support as Gavaskar's logic faces fiery pushback: Washington Sundar 'not a negative move'
Amid the barrage of criticism for making as many as three changes in the playing XI for the second Test match against England in Birmingham, which included resting Jasprit Bumrah and ignoring Kuldeep Yadav again, India head coach Gautam Gambhir finally found support from his former teammate Irfan Pathan. Washington Sundar was picked for the 2nd Test against England The move to deny Kuldeep a spot in the playing XI and select a second spin-bowling all-rounder, Washington Sundar, to strengthen the lower-order batting, left Sunil Gavaskar baffled. He questioned the logic behind Sundar's inclusion, which was explained as a move to strengthen the lower-order batting, which was majorly at fault during India's five-wicket loss in the series opener in Leeds. "If your top-order batters are not giving you the runs you expect, then Washington at seven or Nitish Reddy at eight won't necessarily fix that, because those weren't the batters who failed you in the first Test. You scored 830 runs. You didn't score 380 in two innings — it was 830-plus. That's a lot of runs," he said on Sony Sports Network. 'So, where you needed strengthening was in the wicket-taking department, not so much in the batting.' However, Pathan did not buy this narrative. He rather lashed out at the "negative" reaction behind the move to include Sundar. He backed the all-rounder to vindicate the selection with the bat and ball at Edgbaston. MUST READ: Why India, England players are wearing black armbands in Birmingham Test? 'I'm not buying the narrative that playing Washington Sundar is a negative move. It's actually an attempt to fix what's been missing for a while — lower-order resistance. And let's not forget, he will contribute with the ball too. Specially vs English batters,' he tweeted. India also made two other changes in the playing XI, largely to compensate the absence of Bumrah, who was rested to manage his workload. Sai Sudharsan, who made his debut in Leeds, paid the price as he was benched to make way for fast-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, while Akash Deep replaced the 31-year-old. India trail 0-1 in the series against England, having lost in Leeds.
