Under-19 Asia Cup: 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 76 Not Out Guide India To Semis
Sharjah Cricket Stadium: India’s 13-year-old sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, lit up the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, as he smashed an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls to lead India to a resounding ten-wicket victory over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Match 12 of the Under-19 Asia Cup 2024.
Suryavanshi, who became the youngest player in IPL history to be sold at auction, with Rajasthan Royals (RR) buying him for a whopping Rs 1.10 crore, has been under intense scrutiny. Expectations skyrocketed after the historic deal, but the prodigy struggled in the tournament’s opening two games, managing scores of just 1 and 23.
Facing mounting criticism, Suryavanshi walked out to chase a modest target of 138 with a point to prove—and he wasted no time in making a statement. The left-hander got off the mark in emphatic style, launching UAE pacer Ali Asgar for a towering six off his very first delivery.
