India Put Up a Strong Total
India batted first and scored 290 runs. Some star batters performed incredibly well, scoring some good knocks in England. While most of them were playing in England for the first time, they didn't fail to dominate the home team. Vihan Malhotra was the highest run-scorer, hitting 49 runs off 68 balls. He got good support from his teammates, including Rahul Kumar (47 runs off 47 balls) and Kanishk Chouhan (45 runs off 40 balls). However, Captain Ayush Mhatre failed to shine as he was dismissed on a golden duck.
So far, the young Indian team is leading in the 5-match ODI series with a win in the first game. Suryavanshi played a solid knock of 48 off just 19 balls, including five sixes and three boundaries, despite playing his first match in England. Moreover, he got great support from Captain Mhatre in the first game, adding 71 runs in 7.3 overs. India were chasing 175 runs, which they won quite comfortably.
It was interesting to watch the young batters carry forward the legacy of the senior players in England. It's quite obvious that playing against England on their home turf isn't an easy job. However, the youngsters have kept on with their forms. They have to defend 291 runs in the second match, so it will be intriguing to watch for the fans to see which side the game tilts in the end.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi in IPL 2025
Who would have thought that a 14-year-old boy would start his IPL career with a six on the very first ball? This is the story of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is scripting milestones at the age of going to school. In a league where all the adults are playing, Suryavanshi didn't just make himself available; he tried his best to fit in. Playing for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2025, he scored 34 runs in 20 balls. Moreover, the batter became the youngest player to hit a century in the IPL's history.
Against Gujarat Titans (GT), Suryavanshi hit 101 off 38 balls. It was an incredible innings by the young batter. He played with full confidence and got the right amount of backing from the captain and the management. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suryavanshi opening for RR, it seemed like a deadly combination. However, the middle order failed to capitalize on the great starts these young batters gave them, leading to their downfall.
From playing cricket at four years old to playing the IPL legends, Suryavanshi has come a long way. While most of the cricketers fail to continue the momentum after momentary success, it seems like playing under head coach Rahul Dravid might have helped the young kid. His performance in England is proof that he's still pretty much enthusiastic to play the game and will be scoring tons of runs in the near future. But, he will surely require the support of BCCI and other senior players to guide him well.
