Sooryavanshi’s Ability To Not Feel Pressure In The Final Is A Special Skill: Aakash Chopra
The India Under: Former India opener Aakash Chopra lauded Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for scoring a match-winning century in the Under-19 World Cup final, which helped the side clinch their record sixth title in the tournament.
The 14-year-old contributed significantly to India's massive total of 411/9 in their 50-over innings, notching up an 80-ball 175, before the bowlers limited England to 311 in 40.2 overs, resulting in a 100-run victory for India in the final.
“Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got out in the 26th over and he had already scored 175 runs by then. When he was dismissed, the team’s score was 250 runs. Out of 250, he single-handedly scored 175. That is massive. This innings showed the kind of talent he is blessed with. The India Under-19 players are raising the bar. Not every ball he hits is a six; he also gets beaten sometimes. But his ability to forget the last ball, or to not feel pressure in a final, is a special skill,” Chopra told JioHotstar.
