Cricket World Cup: India’s U-19 captain Ayush Mhatre commended his team’s star hitter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for demonstrating professionalism, highlighting how he managed the high-pressure situation with confidence. The 14-year-old played a vital role for India by scoring 72 off 67, helping his side beat Bangladesh at the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup on Saturday.
The win helped India continue their undefeated streak at the tournament and assert their dominance in Group B. At just 14 years old, Sooryavanshi has already accumulated significant milestones in his young career and has done incredibly well with the bat of late.
“(Sooryavanshi) showed the maturity that he's got and just batted really brilliant. He showed patience also; the team needed him to stay there, so he stayed in. It was initially tough conditions because there was some stickiness in the wicket and the ball was coming a little bit (on the) slower side, back of the length, so there was some difficulty. But the way that (Abhigyan Kundu and Sooryavanshi) batted, and (later in) the innings, (Kanishk Chouhan) batted well,” Mhatre was quoted as saying by ICC.
