Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a member of India’s Under-19 cricket team, is currently in Australia. He participated in the initial ODI series and showcased his batting prowess with a century in the first multi-day match. The anticipation now revolves around whether he can replicate this impressive performance in the upcoming second multi-day match. The reason behind this uncertainty stems from his past performance patterns.
The concern regarding Suryavanshi’s performance in the second multi-day match against Australia arises from his track record. At the Under-19 level, in red-ball cricket series, his performance in the second match has not matched his performance in the first. Suryavanshi has played multi-day matches against England and Australia. Analyzing his performances in these matches reveals a significant disparity between his first and second-match performances.
Suryavanshi has played 5 multi-day matches, accumulating 311 runs, including two centuries. His average stands at 38.87. Notably, three of these matches were the first of their respective series, while the other two were the second. In the initial three matches, Suryavanshi scored 288 runs at an average of 57.60, featuring his two centuries. However, in the subsequent two matches, which were the second matches of the series, he managed only 23 runs, with a poor average of 7.66.
In his youth test matches, Suryavanshi has played three matches against Australia’s Under-19 team. Two of these were the first matches in the series, where he delivered a strong performance. Across the first two matches against the Australian Under-19 team, he scored 218 runs with an average of 72.66, including two centuries. However, in the single match he played as the second match of the series against Australia Under-19, his average was a mere 3.
