Fifteen-year-old cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi just raised bar in List A cricket, smashing half-century in mere 11 balls. Happened during India A vs Sri Lanka A match. Sooryavanshi hammered 94 off 29 balls,helping team reach 377 for 9 .
His innings? Explosive. Ten fours,eight sixes. Faced just one dot ball while reaching fifty. Five fours,five sixes did job. Shattered Thisara Perera's 13-ball record from 2021. Fastest international half-centuries? AB de Villiers,Matthew Forde did it in 16 balls.
Ironically,Sooryavanshi wasn't picked for India's ODI squad against England. But he's in T20 lineup for Ireland and England next month . Might debut then . Climbed ranks quickly — top run-scorer in this year's IPL .
India's T20 prep underway. Virat Kohli could return if he passes fitness test post-hamstring injury. Jasprit Bumrah in squad, but Yashasvi Jaiswal, Hardik Pandya out. First T20 vs Ireland on June 26,then five-match series vs England starting July 1. Three ODIs from July 14.
ODI squad for England? Shubman Gill leads,with Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer,KL Rahul (wicketkeeper),Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper),Washington Sundar, Axar Patel,Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav,Prasidh Krishna,Harshit Rana,Arshdeep Singh,Gurnoor Brar. But will they deliver…?
