Last Updated:
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Tri Series: The question is not just that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi flopped. The world wants to know what suddenly happened to Vaibhav. Did anyone notice him? Let us know those four reasons. Those four mistakes, which suddenly derailed Vaibhav’s stormy journey.
What happened to Vaibhav Suryavanshi suddenly?
New Delhi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi created havoc in IPL 2026 by scoring 776 runs. Pat Cummins, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Starc, everyone was hit. Rain of sixes and fours in every match, abundance of records. The world started saying that Team India has found its next superstar in this 15 year old child. But then came the triangular series…and everything changed.
Only 117 runs in four matches of the triangular series
The batsman with whose bat there was no stopping the runs in IPL. Now suddenly he is seen struggling. But now it seems that the bowlers have caught his weak nerve. Vaibhav seems to be stuck in the last four matches. The triangular series between Sri Lanka A, Afghanistan A and India A is going on, hosted by Sri Lanka. The eyes of the whole world were on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The selectors selected him for India A for the first time.
Vaibhav’s performance in four matches
- SL A vs 14 runs in 12 balls
- AFG A vs 44 runs in 22 balls
- SL A vs 21 runs in 14 balls
- AFG A vs 38 runs in 28 balls
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
1. Rushing to hit every ball
If we look at all four wickets of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the triangular series, one pattern is clearly visible and that is the haste to attack every ball. In the first match against Sri Lanka A, there was dip and turn in the ball, but Suryavanshi tried to play a big shot without reaching the pitch. Result: Caught out.
2.Extreme aggression against the short ball
In his second match against Afghanistan A, Vaibhav got trapped on a short ball. The two lives he got, one time he wanted to hit a ramp shot and the second time he wanted to hit a hook shot. On both occasions he chose the risky option instead of leaving the ball.
India A and Afghanistan A also failed in the match
3. The hobby of playing in the air is becoming a hindrance
Vaibhav believes in firing aerial fire. He will also have to learn to hit fours. Opposition teams have targeted this habit of his. He keeps getting trapped in the tactics of the opposition bowlers. Can’t distinguish field settings.
4. Not changing the game according to the circumstances
Vaibhav has still not been able to come out of the T20 template. Not trying to adapt to the ODI format. After analyzing Vaibhav’s game in IPL, the opponents made a clear plan to tempt the spinner, bowl short balls to the pacer and let the 15 year old kid make his own mistakes.
