India vs Pakistan, U19 Asia Cup: Now the time has come for that high-voltage match in the Under-19 Asia Cup 2025, which everyone was eagerly waiting for. The competition between India and Pakistan in cricket is interesting at whatever level. 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is further increasing that interest in Under 19 Asia Cup 2025. The big thing is that Vaibhav has a clear instruction from the captain that no matter what happens, his sixes should not stop. Vaibhav Suryavanshi himself has mentioned that message received from the captain.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit 14 sixes against UAE
Vaibhav Suryavanshi had made a huge explosion with the bat against UAE in the first match of Under 19 Asia Cup 2025. He played a huge inning of 171 runs in just 95 balls, which included 14 sixes. After that inning, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also became the batsman to hit the most sixes in an innings in the history of Under-19 Asia Cup.
The captain had said – sixes should not be stopped
After that innings played against UAE, Team India captain Ayush Mhatre had a chat with Vaibhav Suryavanshi. During the same conversation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi told that he had a clear message from his captain i.e. Ayush Mhatre that sixes should not be stopped. As soon as Vaibhav said this, Ayush quipped and asked – Where were you hitting sixes? Then Vaibhav said that only if he had listened to the captain, he would not have got out. It is expected that Vaibhav Suryavanshi will not repeat the mistake against Pakistan and will be seen hitting sixes as per the instructions of the captain.
Not only defeating Pakistan, but also winning the tournament – Vaibhav
During the discussion, captain Ayush Mhatre also asked Vaibhav Suryavanshi questions about the match against Pakistan. Ayush asked whether to do good against Pakistan? On this Vaibhav Suryavanshi replied that winning is not just about doing good against Pakistan. Rather, we have to do better in the entire tournament and win the title.
This statement of Vaibhav Suryavanshi reveals his thinking, how far ahead he is thinking. Their aim is not to defeat Pakistan. Rather, India has to win the Under 19 Asia Cup title.
