Virat Kohli Connection In Vaibhav Suryavanshi Madness For India vs England, 48 In 19 Balls In U19 ODI

Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed a 19-ball 48 as India U19 thrashed England U19 by six wickets in the 1st Youth ODI at Hove on Friday. Suryavanshi, who was wearing no. 18 on his back, a number synonymous with India great Virat Kohli, slammed five sixes and three fours as India A chased down a target of 175 with 26 overs to spare. Suryavanshi had given India A a flying start in the chase, with the visitors crossing the 70-run mark in the 8th over. Suryavanshi was dismissed by Ralphie Albert in the same over.
