Post a dominant U19 Asia Cup encounter, Musheer Khan Mhatre singled out Vaibhav Suryavanshi for special mention. ‘He exhibited maturity and patience beyond his years,’ the captain said after India’s clinical chase against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh’s innings lacked momentum, courtesy of India’s disciplined bowling. Chasing, Suryavanshi faced seam movement and spin but remained unfazed. His patient vigil turned into a fluent half-century, paving the way for an unchallenged victory.
Mhatre elaborated on Suryavanshi’s role in high-pressure scenarios. Drawing from the match, he highlighted shot selection and game awareness that stabilized the innings. This approach enabled the lower order to unleash without fear.
The youngster’s stock continues to rise, with selectors noting his consistency. India’s U19 campaign gains steam, blending raw talent with tactical nous. Mhatre’s comments reflect a cohesive unit ready for the knockout phase.
Fielding lapses were minimal, and death bowling sealed the deal. Suryavanshi’s poise, as per Mhatre, embodies the team’s ethos. With the Asia Cup progressing, expect more such standout moments from this promising squad.
