Vaibhav Suryavanshi left behind, 23 year old batsman becomes Sixer King, Indian batsmen dominate in tri series

New Delhi. The ODI tri-series being played on Sri Lankan soil has given a high-dose of thrill to the cricket fans. Whenever it comes to young and aggressive batsmen, the eyes first fall on Bihar’s young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav, famous for his stormy batting, was expected to hit big sixes in this tournament too. But do you know that this time there has been a big twist in the story? In this tri-series, not Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but some other batsman is creating havoc by wearing the crown of ‘Sixer King’. The interesting thing is that Indian players are completely dominant in the list of top-5 six-hitting batsmen of this tournament.

Before the start of the tournament, hardly anyone had thought that this all-rounder of India-A would surpass everyone in the matter of hitting sixes. But Suryansh Shedge has completely won this tournament with his explosive style. He has scored a total of 145 runs while remaining unbeaten once in the 4 innings of 4 matches played so far. During this period, his highest score was 72 runs and his average was 48.33.

Suryansh Shedge has hit the maximum six sixes.
But what makes him most special is his strike rate and ability to hit boundaries. He has scored runs at a stormy strike rate of 125. The surprising thing is that as many fours (6) he has hit, he has also hit the same number of skyscraper sixes (6). With this, Suryansh Shedge is at the top in the list of batsmen who have hit the most sixes in this tri-series and he has proved himself to be the real ‘Sixer King’.

Fernando scored mountains of runs
Sri Lanka A opener Avishka Fernando may be at second place in the race for sixes, but in terms of runs, he has blown away the opposition bowlers. Fernando has shown amazing consistency in 4 matches, scoring a maximum of 285 runs at an unmatched average of 95.00, which includes two brilliant centuries. He batted at a strike rate of 114.45. Fernando’s style was a little different; He showed more confidence in playing shots from the ground rather than firing in the air. This is the reason why a record 39 fours came off his bat, while he also hit 4 skyscraper sixes in his innings.

‘Power Hitting’ of Rituraj Gaikwad and Priyansh Arya
The dominance of Indian batsmen in this top-5 list does not end here. India-A captain and experienced batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad also presented an unmatched example of his class and power. Gaikwad scored 234 runs in 4 matches at an average of 58.50, which included one century and one half-century. He proved his timing and hit 16 fours and 3 brilliant sixes. On the other hand, Priyansh Arya also took full advantage of the opportunities he got. Priyansh batted in only 3 matches and added 98 runs. Playing with a strike rate of more than 118, Priyansh has further strengthened his aggressive image by hitting 13 fours and 3 sixes.

Challenge of Afghanistan’s Hassan Isaakhil
Amidst this dominance of India and Sri Lanka, Afghanistan-A’s Hasan Isaakhil has also made his presence felt. Hasan handled the middle order well in 4 matches and scored 162 runs with the help of a half-century. Playing at an average of 54 and a strike rate above 100, Hasan hit 20 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. He has emerged as the biggest troubleshooter for his team.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has speed but waiting for sixes
Now let’s talk about that player whose discussion is on every tongue, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. This young Khabbu batsman, who hails from Bihar, has always impressed with his batting style. Vaibhav’s strike rate has been the most dangerous in this tournament also. Facing only 76 balls, he scored 117 runs at an explosive strike rate of 153.94. His style shows that he does not give the bowlers a chance to recover. He hit 19 fours in his short but effective innings. However, Vaibhav, from whom the fans were expecting long sixes, has currently slipped to the sixth position in this list with 3 sixes. This tri-series has made it clear that no matter which player is in the limelight, when it comes to creating chaos on the field, the young Indian brigade is second to none. This performance of Suryansh Shedge makes the future of Indian cricket even brighter in the times to come.
