Vaibhav Suryavanshi U19 Cricket Star Falls Early in Final ODI vs Australia

Vaibhav Suryavanshi U19 cricket sensation faced a setback in the third and final Youth ODI against Australia in Brisbane. The 14-year-old Indian opener, who had dazzled fans with a match-winning 70 in the second ODI, managed just 16 runs off 20 balls this time. He launched his innings with two powerful sixes, but a mistimed shot led to an early dismissal, disappointing fans who expected another explosive performance.

Early Fireworks Followed by Sudden Collapse

Suryavanshi thrilled fans with two early sixes, showcasing the same aggressive intent that earned him praise in the previous match. However, his attempt to accelerate further led to a mistimed shot and a disappointing dismissal. His opening partner Ayush Mhatre also fell cheaply for 4 runs, putting India in early trouble.

Series Already Sealed, But Clean Sweep Slips Away

India entered the third ODI with a 2-0 lead, aiming for a clean sweep. Captain Ayush Mhatre won the toss and chose to bat, banking on Suryavanshi’s explosive form. Expectations soared after his record-breaking 70-run knock in the second ODI, where he smashed six sixes and broke Unmukt Chand’s Youth ODI record.

Australia’s Bowlers Dominate Final Encounter

Australia’s bowlers responded with tight lines and early breakthroughs, capitalizing on the dismissals of India’s openers. The short stay of Suryavanshi and Mhatre highlighted the challenges of consistency at the international youth level.

Suryavanshi’s Rising Stardom Remains Unshaken

Despite the setback, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s earlier performances have already marked him as one of India’s most exciting young batting prospects. His record as the youngest centurion in IPL history and his explosive innings in the second ODI continue to fuel high hopes for his future.
