India vs Zimbabwe T20: Indian cricket has got another young star. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made headlines with his explosive batting in domestic cricket and IPL, has now made a explosive entry in international cricket as well. In the first T20 match against Zimbabwe in Harare, he made many big records in his name by scoring 50 runs in just 19 balls. The special thing was that at the age of just 15, he achieved such a feat, which no player had been able to do till now.
Half century in 18 balls, wreaked havoc from the beginning
Despite failing in three consecutive T20 matches on the England tour, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s confidence did not waver. In Harare, he adopted an aggressive style from the very first ball. After taking a single on the second ball, he attacked Zimbabwean fast bowler Richard Ngarwa.
He made his intentions clear by hitting a 99 meter long six off Engarva’s ball. After this, he continuously hit fours and sixes in the fourth and fifth overs also. Completing his half-century in just 18 balls, Vaibhav made his innings memorable with the help of 4 fours and 4 sixes. However, he was out soon after completing his fifty and returned to the pavilion after scoring 50 runs in 19 balls.
