Suryavanshi opened the innings alongside captain Ayush Mhatre after England won the toss and elected to bowl first.

He prolific left-handed hitter went on to pile misery on the English bowling attack, propelling India’s total upwards at a healthy rate. Right through his brief career, Suryavanshi has showcased immense talent and ability to hit the long ball. It is rather a no-brainer, that selectors will be watching him from close quarters.

He soon backed it up with a 34-ball 45, an innings which was too steady and composed for the likes of the hard-hitting left-hander. But, he wasn’t going to stop there. In the third ODI, Suryavanshi went on to score a 31-ball 86, which helped the team chase 269, going 2-1 up in the series. And just as everyone thought that the law of averages would steer him towards a low total soon, he has upped the ante. The youngster now has made his way into the history books of the game.

Many of his teammates in the Rajasthan Royals setup also mentioned that the youngster was getting into good position while hitting the ball.

His performances in the league as well as for India’s U-19 side leave no doubts that he will be one of the first choices for retention, come the IPL 2026 auctions.
