Vaibhav Suryavanshi has set the Asia Cup Rising Stars ablaze with a blitzkrieg in the second match of the tournament against UAE.
Playing for India A, the
southpaw scored a half-century off just 17 balls against UAE, giving the Indian team a fantastic start as they are batting first. And then the star batter continued his batting mayhem to get to a century off just 32 deliveries.
Suryavanshi started in sublime fashion, hitting 5 fours and 3 sixes to get to his half-century with a strike rate of over 300. He went into in an even more devastating mood after that, hitting sixes for fun. Suryavanshi is currently batting on 131 off just 38 deliveries, hitting 11 fours and 13 sixes.
India A have absolutely destroyed UAE so far, as they have posted 179 for 1 at the end of the first 11 overs. Priyansh Arya contributed with a quick 10 off 6 balls before being run out early in the innings. Meanwhile, Naman Dhir remains steady with 34 runs from 22 deliveries, complementing Suryavanshi's onslaught at the crease. The UAE bowlers, including Muhammad Rohid Khan and others, delivered spells but struggled to contain the rapid scoring. Rohid Khan bowled 3 overs conceding 30 runs, while others like Muhammad Farazuddin and Aayan Afzal Khan also went for runs.
The partnership between Suryavanshi and his partners has kept India A well placed in the powerplay overs, and the team looks poised for a big total in this developing match. The crowd at the stadium is witnessing a brilliant batting exhibition as India A aims to put up a commanding total against UAE in this Rising Stars fixture.
Suryavanshi made his IPL debut in 2025 and was excellent for Rajasthan Royals, scoring 251 runs in the season, which also included a massive century. The 15-year-old is expected to be retained by the Royals for next season as well.
