Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Bihar’s vice-captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s bat finally thundered in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025. The pressure was increasing on Vaibhav due to lack of runs in the first three matches. In the fourth match against Maharashtra, this young batsman made such a blast that everyone was surprised. Suryavanshi created such an outcry by hitting as many sixes as he hit fours, which destroyed the entire plan of the opposing bowlers.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s storm
Batting first, Bihar scored 176 runs for 3 wickets in 20 overs, out of which Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 108 runs alone. The special thing was that he may have started his innings in a calm manner, but as the innings progressed, his bat started bursting into flames.
Vaibhav played a brilliant inning of 108 unbeaten runs on 61 balls. His innings included 7 fours and 7 sixes. During this period his strike rate was more than 177. He completed his century with a skyscraper six. This innings was both a statement of his confidence and also a clear proof of his skill.
Didn’t get along in the opening
The beginning of Bihar was quite shaky. Opening partner Bipin Saurabh was out cheaply in the first over itself. The partnership on the second wicket also did not last long. Even after this, Vaibhav held one end firmly. He made a quick partnership of more than 50 runs with Akash Raj on the third wicket and pulled the team out of trouble.
After the dismissal of Akash Raj, Vaibhav came into a completely different mode. In the classic style of hitting only after seeing the ball, he first completed his half century, then increased the pace in the last overs and reached the century.
Great comeback after last 3 matches
In the first three matches of the tournament, Vaibhav Suryavanshi could score only 32 runs in total. He was being criticized and also under pressure, but he answered all the questions with his play on the field. This century scored against Maharashtra was not only a match-changer, but was also the first century of his Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy career.
