Lucknow: SURYAVANSHI played a superlative knock against SriLanka in the finals of the Tri Series by scoring 94 runs in only 29 balls..
Earlier he scored 21 , 14 , 38 and 44 in 4 matches.Although they were not big scoring innings in comparison to his IPL knocks but it was not that bad for a youngster who just started his International career. People started criticising him that it was too early for him to play International cricket. No i believe it was the right time that he was introduced him to One Days as well as in T 20 cricket. He is such type of batsman who can blast any attack on his day. It will be a sure shot victory for India if he bats first 6 overs in T 20 matches and 10 overs in One day matches respectively if he gets the maximum strike.
The way he batted in the finals it was simply beyond imagination. He got 50 runs of only 11 balls and when he got out at 94 he just played 29 balls. Just imagine that he is only 15 and not that powerfully built like Chris Gayle. Whatever People say I believe he is God gifted and if he leads a normal life then there will be innumerable records to his name. He has to follow the path led by Sachin and Rahul and not like Vinod and Prithvi. Cricket is such a game that one wrong step and you are gone.
SURYAVANSHI real test will be against England. The swinging deliveries have always been a problem for best of the batsmen specially in the first half tour of England and SURYAVANSHI will not be an exception. The pitches will be fresh and helpful for the swing bowlers as T 20 matches will be played in the first week of July. Since T 20 matches are meant for batters and therefore it would be quite possible that few batsmen friendly pitches might be prepared.
However it will be a real test for SURYAVANSHI in England but I believe that there will not be any problem for this super talented cricketer to clear this hurdle. He will prove critics wrong by blasting English attack.
