His clinical show with the bat comprised two hundreds and a fifty. On the other hand, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the top scorer in the Youth ODIs. In the five ODIs played, Suryavanshi smacked 355 runs at an average of 71. His exploits included a solitary ton and a fifty. His impact at the top of the innings was remarkable.
