Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Dismissed Early in India A’s Opening Match Against Sri Lanka APreviousNext

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old India A opener, was dismissed early for 14 runs off 12 balls during the first one-day match against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla. Despite showing aggressive intent and scoring three boundaries, his innings ended prematurely when Sri Lankan pacer Mohamed Shiraz caught him out. Prior to the match, Sooryavanshi practiced defensive shots but reverted to his natural attacking style. His early dismissal contributed to India A's unstable start in the tri-series opener.
