Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s current stint in Australia, where he played a 3-match ODI series for India’s Under-19 team, scoring 124 runs, is noteworthy. However, a key highlight in his young career was the Asia Cup in the UAE. This tournament marked Suryavanshi’s white-ball debut for the Under-19 Indian team, playing against Pakistan. His first white-ball match against Pakistan happened in the Under-19 Asia Cup in Dubai last year.
In that Asia Cup, Suryavanshi’s performance against Pakistan showcased his dominance, earning him the ‘Number 1’ spot in various aspects. To understand this better, let’s first explore his overall white-ball cricket record. Suryavanshi hasn’t played a T20 match for the Under-19 Indian team, so his stats are based on his ODI performances. He has played 11 ODIs for India’s Under-19 team, scoring 556 runs with a century to his name. During these matches, he hit 43 sixes and 50 fours. His strike rate is an impressive 151.91, and his batting average is 50.54.
Regarding his performance against Pakistan, he played just one match in the Asia Cup and scored a single run, leading to a batting average of 1. That debut match in the Under-19 Asia Cup against Pakistan has indeed become a landmark for Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s presence in the world of Under-19 ODI cricket.
