Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Faces New-Ball Test Against Afghanistan Pacers
· Sports · Indian Express, NDTV Sports
Fifteen-year-old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi prepares for his first home series appearance against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The young left-hander faces a major test against Afghan pacers Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi, who specialize in striking within the first three overs where Sooryavanshi is most vulnerable. During a recent training session, Sooryavanshi struggled against net bowlers and senior pacers like Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Yash Thakur. Net bowler Navdeep Saini noted that cool weather and lingering rain have created swing and movement for fast bowlers early in the innings.
Why it matters
Sooryavanshi must overcome his vulnerability against early swing to cement his place in India's top order during the upcoming T20I series.
