It is not Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fault that he is garnering all the attention in the world now. After all, his stupenduous talent forced IPL franchises to splash money on him before the Rajasthan Royals (RR) signed the Bihar-born batter for more than a crore (INR) at the IPL 2025 mega auction. Now, every failure of his will get noticed. In the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT), Suryavanshi made his List-A debut for Bihar. He made just 4 runs on his debut but now, unfortunately, he has seen another failure.

At the NexGen Cricket Ground, Hyderabad, Suryavanshi went out to open alongside Kumar Rajnish against Tripura. Facing his first over bowled by A Sarkar, Suryavanshi dotted the first four balls before getting all ends up. The fifth ball saw his stumps getting disturbed as Suryavanshi recorded two back-to-back failures.
In total, this is Suryavanshi’s third consecutive flop show. In the must-win Under-19 Asia Cup Final against Bangladesh, he made just 9 runs as India went on to lose the summit clash.
