Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who won the Orange Cap in IPL, has not been able to perform as per expectations in the ongoing India ‘A’ tri-series in Sri Lanka. Vaibhav, who made a splash in IPL, could score only 117 runs in four innings of this series. His form is a matter of concern ahead of the tour of Ireland and England.
New Delhi: Everyone’s eyes were on 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made a splash with his bat in the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and won the Orange Cap. Currently, India ‘A’ team is on tour to Sri Lanka to play a triangular series. In this series, India ‘A’ is facing Sri Lanka ‘A’ and Afghanistan ‘A’ teams.
There was a lot of curiosity among cricket fans about how Vaibhav Suryavanshi would perform in this series. The reason for this was also special. While opening for Rajasthan Royals in the 2026 IPL, Vaibhav batted openly against the world’s top class bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Kagiso Rabada. Not only this, he has also got a place in the senior Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against Ireland and England. Before this high-profile series, this triangular series was considered very important for Vaibhav.
How was Vaibhav’s performance in the tri-series?
In the last match against Afghanistan ‘A’, Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again got a good start, but he could not convert it into a big score. In this match, Vaibhav scored 38 runs in just 28 balls and lost his wicket. In this way he once again missed scoring a half-century.
Let us tell you that before the match against Afghanistan ‘A’, Vaibhav had scored 14, 44 and 21 runs respectively in this tri-series. Now with his inning of 38 runs, he has scored a total of 117 runs in four innings of this series. Vaibhav, who won the Orange Cap by scoring 776 runs in 16 innings in the 2026 IPL, failed to show his same old magic in this series. Now it remains to be seen whether Vaibhav can regain his form till the upcoming Ireland and England series or not.
