Since then, he has continued to break records at astonishing speed.Among his biggest achievements so far are becoming one of the youngest players to secure an IPL contract, making an IPL debut at a record age, and smashing a stunning T20 century after scoring 101 runs off just 38 balls.He also played a major role in India’s Under-19 World Cup campaign, producing explosive innings that helped the team lift the trophy.Why experts believe his technique is differentCricket experts say Sooryavanshi’s batting is built around a powerful base and exceptionally quick hands.
