Manchester: India's 15-year-old young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi made everyone his fan in his debut match versus England. Even though he could score only 14 runs in the second T20, his batting showed the conviction that big players have.
What did Vaibhav do special on his debut?
Tilak Verma gave India's T20 cap to Vaibhav. And Vaibhav made a splash as soon as he got the chance. First a long six off Jofra Archer, then Josh Tongue was moreover sent out of the boundary. It was a short inning of 14 runs, but 2 sixes showed that this boy is not wrung of any bowler.
Which record club has Vaibhav reached?
Vaibhav has now joined the list of 6 Indians who have hit increasingly than 1 six in T20 International debut. Indians who have hit the most sixes in their debut:
- Ashish Nehra
- Murali Vijay
- Rahul Dravid
- Ishan Kishan
- Tilak Verma
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Why is Dravid's name special in this list?
We know Rahul Dravid for his technique. But in his only T20 debut, he moreover scored 31 runs in 21 balls and had 3 sixes in it. That match was versus England only.
No second thoughts. Just wipe striking.
Another confident maximum from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on debut.
