There is a very old saying in Hindi, “Who saw the peacock dancing in the jungle?” Yes… 15 year old young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi may have created a ruckus with the bat in IPL 2026, but today’s story is that he has not been able to leave any mark in international cricket yet.
He got a chance to debut in the T20I series against England. Fans sat in front of the TV carrying popcorn. Thinking that they will get to see sixes raining from Vaibhav’s bat, but his bat has been silent in three matches. The fans who were clamoring for Vaibhav Suryavanshi to debut in international cricket soon, have now also started wondering whether it is too early…
The big question is, what happened to Vaibhav Suryavanshi? In the month of May, it was a tough time for the bowlers. In IPL 2026, he scored 776 runs playing at a stormy strike rate of 237.31 and created history by hitting 72 sixes, but Vaibhav, who hit 72 sixes in one season of IPL, has not even scored 50 runs in total in 3 matches of international cricket.
IPL’s strength becomes weakness in England
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s strength in IPL is not working in England and has truly become a weakness for him. Yes, in IPL 2026 he used to send the ball flying on the very first ball. Be it Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins or Josh Hazlewood, Vaibhav used to deal straight sixes. It was a left-handed game for him on Indian pitches and small grounds, but the same addiction is trapping him in England.
Vaibhav getting trapped in aerial shot
If we look at Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s IPL career so far, he has scored almost 60 percent of his runs by playing aerial shots. In England too, he is trying to do the same, but due to the swing available on the pitches here and the big grounds, he is getting stuck again and again. It would not be wrong if Vaibhav Suryavanshi cuts bowlers in England with the same sword with which he used to cut bowlers in IPL. While trying to hit a six, he is getting caught out again and again.
IPL’s friend becomes enemy in International
For 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, his friend in IPL has become his enemy in international cricket. We are talking about England’s star fast bowler Joffra Archer who has dismissed Vaibhav Suryavanshi twice in 3 matches. Archer is continuously trapping Vaibhav in the shot ball net. Vaibhav has so far scored 14,13,15 runs in the ongoing series against England. England has achieved an unassailable 3-0 lead in the 5-match series. If Vaibhav wants to hoist the flag in international cricket like IPL, then he will have to find a cure for the shot ball and will also have to use his six heating ability wisely and with some time.
