A Knock Beyond His Age
Coming into the match with impressive form, Suryavanshi looked confident from the moment he walked out to bat. But luck played its part too – he was actually dropped on the very first ball he faced. The UAE bowlers would soon regret that missed chance. What followed was pure carnage.
On a pitch that offered nothing for the bowlers, the young prodigy went all-out attack, smashing 10 fours and 9 sixes, all while striking at over 300. The UAE bowlers had no answers as every over turned into a highlight reel of fearless stroke-making.
Another Rising Star for India?
At just 14, Suryavanshi’s composure and power-hitting already resemble that of a seasoned professional. His ability to pick lengths early, time the ball sweetly, and dominate bowlers twice his age shows how special his talent is.
Indian cricket has seen young talents rise before but very few have delivered such a statement at this age.
A Knock to Remember
With this blistering century, Suryavanshi has firmly announced himself on the big stage. The Rising Stars Asia Cup is turning into his personal showcase, and if he continues this form, India may have unearthed a future star who could shine for many years to come.
For now, fans can sit back and enjoy the rise of a teenage sensation who is already rewriting records.
What happened in the match
Suryavanshi began his innings in stunning style, racing to a half-century at a strike rate of over 300 by smashing 5 fours and 3 sixes. Once he settled in, he switched to an even more destructive gear, sending the ball into the stands almost at will. He reached his century in just 32 balls and didn’t stop there – continuing to punish every bowler that came his way. By the time he was done, the 14-year-old had hammered a breathtaking 144 off just 42 deliveries, an innings packed with 11 fours and 15 sixes.
India A, riding on his extraordinary knock, completely dominated the UAE bowlers. At the 15-over mark, the scoreboard read a massive 232 for 3, putting them in total control of the match. Priyansh Arya chipped in with a brisk 10 off 6 balls before being run out early, while Naman Dhir played the perfect supporting role with 34 off 23 deliveries, allowing Suryavanshi to unleash freely from the other end.
The UAE attack – featuring Muhammad Rohid Khan, Muhammad Farazuddin, Aayan Afzal Khan, and others, struggled to slow down the scoring. Rohid Khan’s 3 overs went for 30 runs, and his teammates didn’t fare much better as boundaries flowed all around the ground.
With Suryavanshi leading the charge and partnerships clicking smoothly, India A look set for a mammoth total. The crowd is being treated to a spectacular batting display in this Rising Stars fixture, as the young Indian side continues to overwhelm the UAE bowlers with fearless, high-octane cricket.
