IND vs ZIM: Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes ‘record holder’ by hitting fifty against Zimbabwe, Kohli-Gill also left behind

New Delhi: Indian cricket team’s young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi created a new history with his brilliant batting in the first T20 match against Zimbabwe. Thanks to his stormy half-century, India defeated the host team by 7 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Vaibhav completed his first international half-century in just 19 balls and made many records in his name.

Record of International Fifty at the youngest age

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now become the youngest player to score a half-century in any format of international cricket. His achievement has attracted the attention of the cricket world. Vaibhav, who made his debut on the England tour, could not play big innings in the initial matches, but he made a strong comeback against Zimbabwe.

Got ahead of Kohli and Gill in this special list

Vaibhav completed his first T20 fifty for India in just the fourth innings. In this matter, he left behind both Shubman Gill, who took 6 innings to score his first T20 fifty, and Virat Kohli, who scored his first fifty in the 8th innings.

However, the record of scoring the first T20 fifty in the shortest innings for India is still in the names of Robin Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. All these batsmen had scored half-centuries in their debut T20 match itself.

Included in the list of players who scored fifty in the fourth innings

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now joined the list of Indian players who scored their first fifty in the fourth T20 innings. Big names like Virender Sehwag, KL Rahul, Shivam Dubey and Kedar Jadhav are also included in this list.

Dhoni is the last one

The most surprising name in this list is that of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni had to play 66 innings to score his first fifty in T20 international cricket for India. He is at the bottom of this list. Whereas Hardik Pandya took 43 innings to reach his first T20 fifty.

Expectations increased from the young star

This innings of Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not only a brilliant half-century but is also being considered as a strong glimpse of the future of Indian cricket. The confidence and aggressive style with which he batted at a young age has strengthened Team India’s hopes of getting a new match winner for the coming years.
