In the thrilling U-19 World Cup final, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi emerged as a key player for Team India. The 14-year-old showcased his remarkable talent by scoring a stunning 175 runs off just 80 balls, featuring 15 boundaries and an equal number of sixes against England. Reflecting on this milestone, Sooryavanshi expressed that this innings holds a special place in his heart. “My favorite knock has to be the final in the U-19 World Cup held in Harare. It was an honour to score a century in a match of such significance,” he shared. He emphasized, “What I did for the team in that final was truly special. My focus is always on winning; I concentrate on my performance.” Despite his rising fame for his explosive batting style, Sooryavanshi prefers to maintain a grounded approach. “I focus on my work. In any profession, success brings attention, but I’m not dwelling on that. My priority is to stay focused on my craft,” the Bihar-born talent stated.
