Overview:
Suryavanshi survived an early scare when Ali Raza put down a chance, but the Pakistani pacer eventually got his man.
It turned out to be a disappointing day for Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the U19 Asia Cup final, as he not only fell cheaply with the bat but also engaged in a heated exchange with Ali Raza during his dismissal. Supporters reacted strongly, expressing frustration over his attitude and composure at a crucial stage.
Having announced himself earlier in the tournament with some superb performances, Suryavanshi was expected to be one of India’s key men in the final against Pakistan. But the equation became tougher after Pakistan racked up 347, courtesy of Sameer Minhas’ stunning 172 of 113-ball. Despite the daunting chase, Suryavanshi looked confident early on, smashing three sixes and a boundary, but India suffered an early setback with the dismissal of captain Ayush Mhatre.
Suryavanshi survived an early scare when Ali Raza put down a chance, but the Pakistani pacer eventually got his man. Aaron George threatened to settle in, but his promising knock was cut short in the fourth over. With wickets falling, India desperately needed Suryavanshi to hold firm, rebuild the innings, and steady the chase.
He attempted a cross-batted shot, got a faint edge, and the keeper snapped it up comfortably.
Suryavanshi’s intent in the summit clash failed to impress many Indian fans, who questioned why the youngster went all-out from ball one. Supporters felt he needed to show better maturity in an ODI chase and read the match situation more intelligently.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s talent is unquestionable, but his on-field reaction highlighted a serious lapse in temperament
Fame and pressure from early IPL success demand restraint, especially in politically charged international contests.
Learning to control anger, stay humble,… https://t.co/7lufrZOBdj

Vaibhav Suryavanshi needs to learn some game sense
In ODI game & chasing 348 he’s just slogging from ball one He doesn’t know how to rotate strike and take singles He should be sent back to domestic cricket and should not represent India until he learns basic game awareness. pic.twitter.com/maYVfaGS40

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a joker player, runs are not being scored apart from the minnow team and his attitude has become like that of Virat Kohli.
India’s future is in the wrong hands https://t.co/EB9qImcZ2E

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is just a blind slogger..?
It seems to be. Whatever you say immaturity, lack of game awareness or blind slogging, all are perfect for this hyped kid.
Need to understand the difference between ODI and T20I. Chasing 348 needs a mindset, planning and proper… pic.twitter.com/eGJnYRvnTY
