Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Sri Lanka A: Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s bat did not work for the third consecutive match in the ongoing tri-series in Sri Lanka. This left-handed batsman scored only 21 runs in the match against Sri Lanka A on Monday. However, one six came off the bat of this player. The amazing thing is that why Suryavanshi, who hit 72 sixes in the IPL, is not able to play big shots in Sri Lanka and why is he yearning for runs? The main reason for the failure of Vaibhav Suryavanshi is his technique and the pitch of Dambulla. Let us tell you what mistake is Vaibhav making?
Why is Vaibhav Suryavanshi failing?
In the ongoing tri series in Sri Lanka Vaibhav Suryavanshi Failed to score half-centuries in three consecutive matches. In the first match he scored 14 runs against Sri Lanka A. He played a good inning of 44 runs against Afghanistan but he missed the half-century and now against Sri Lanka A he scored 21 runs. Suryavanshi made a good start in all three matches but then suddenly he lost his wicket and the reason for this was his high risk style. Vaibhav Suryavanshi attacks the ball from the very first ball and if one or two boundaries are reached then his bat becomes unstoppable. Although this strategy is good on Pata pitches but where the pitch is slow and low then it is difficult to play big shots and this is what is happening with Vaibhav.
Pitch and aggressive technique are the reason for failure
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is playing in Dambulla, one of the toughest venues in Sri Lanka where batting is not so easy. The ball stops after falling on the pitch of Dambulla and it also remains below. Therefore it is difficult to play the ball from a distance. On such pitches you have to play a lot of late shots which is a drawback in Vaibhav’s game. Vaibhav recognizes the length quickly and then swings the bat in the line of the ball. If the ball comes at the right speed then the ball crosses the boundary but this does not happen on the pitch of Dambulla. This is the reason why Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been able to hit only one six in three matches so far on the Dambulla pitch.
What will Vaibhav Suryavanshi have to do now?
There is no doubt that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is full of talent, but the truth is that he still has to improve a lot in his game. Vaibhav Suryavanshi will have to learn to bat on every pitch. In T20 cricket, the pitches are usually batting friendly but they will not get such pitches on foreign tours. He will not be able to play shots freely in List A and First Class cricket. First he will have to establish his vision and then play the strokes openly. If this player does not do this then he will continue to see similar failures. If they don’t learn from failure, their path will become more difficult. It is expected that Vaibhav will correct his mistake and play a big innings in the last remaining league match of the Tri Series.
