Whenever India’s 14-year-old batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi steps on the field, he always has some record in his sights. Vaibhav will now be seen playing in the Under-19 World Cup, which is scheduled to begin on January 15th. This World Cup will be played under the hosting of Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Which 2 records Vaibhav Suryavanshi are going to break?
When India plays in this tournament, all eyes will once again be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. In the upcoming ICC tournament, Vaibhav Suryavanshi will have two big records in his sights. He will have the opportunity to surpass Shikhar Dhawan and South Africa’s Dewald Brevis.
14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar is known for his explosive batting. He opens the innings as an opener and hits a lot of fours and sixes right from the start. He scores most of his runs through boundaries. If he hits 19 sixes in the upcoming Under-19 World Cup, he will become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in a single edition of the World Cup, surpassing Dewald Brevis.
Shikhar Dhawan currently holds the record for the highest strike rate in a single edition of the Under-19 World Cup. Dhawan scored 505 runs at a strike rate of 93.51 in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup. This is the highest strike rate by any player in a single season of the tournament. Vaibhav’s strike rate is over 100 in almost all matches. Therefore, Vaibhav could break Shikhar Dhawan’s record in the upcoming Under-19 World Cup.
Vaibhav was previously seen playing in the Youth ODI series against South Africa. Vaibhav also batted brilliantly in this series. He scored 127 runs in the final match of the series. In the warm-up match against Scotland, he scored 96 runs off 50 balls.
