India A opening batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blazed his way into the record books with a blistering 94-run knock against Sri Lanka 'A' in Dambulla.
India’s teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi said his match-winning innings in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka 'A' on Sunday was the product of sticking to his plans rather than responding to outside expectations, as the 15-year-old also used the occasion to remind critics that his game extends well beyond the T20 format.
Speaking after being named Player of the Match in India A's victory, Sooryavanshi reflected on his preparation, his handling of the spotlight, and the lessons from a successful campaign.
The young opener blasted 94 off just 29 balls, hitting the fastest 50 in List A cricket and powering India 'A' to a commanding total before the bowlers defended it to seal victory. The left-hander said his only objective at the start of the innings was to maximise the fielding restrictions by trusting the work he had put in before the final.
“I didn't think too much, just wanted to make the most of the first 10 overs and execute what I had planned,” Sooryavanshi said after receiving the Player of the Match award.
