Suryavanshi’s ‘glory’ visible with the bat, also expert in catching catches
Playing in Sri Lanka with India A grandeur Was selected in Team India on 6th June. Apart from the Ireland-England tour, he got a place in the T20 team of the Asian Games. There was no doubt about his batting before his selection in the team. But questions were definitely raised on his fielding and especially his catching ability.

Vaibhav took his first catch after entering Team India.
Sri Lanka A’s opening pair of Nirosham Dickwella and Avishka Fernando, who came to answer India A’s 277 runs, was becoming dangerous. By putting 93 runs on the scoreboard, she was moving towards a century partnership. The pressure on India A was clearly visible. In that pressure-filled situation, Vaibhav took the catch of Avishka Fernando on the ball of Ayush Badoni, who came to bowl as a part-timer, which changed the course of the match. On the 99th ball of Sri Lanka A’s innings, the faster Avishka’s shot came towards Vaibhav, the faster he reacted and caught the catch with both hands. This is his first catch after the selection of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in Team India on 6th June.
