Another low score from Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
I feel that if this continues throughout the series, many people will come forward and start criticizing him.
To be honest, many people are already waiting for his downfall rather than his success. This is the reality… pic.twitter.com/RmaBKCaO9n

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has all the talent in the world, but ODI demands a different approach.
Learning when to attack and when to make innings is part of the journey. He’s young enough to figure it out. pic.twitter.com/BmE2Llr6Bh

Flat pitch master Vaibhav Suryavanshi failed again 😭🔥
Suryavanshi was out on 21(14) in the India A vs Sri Lanka A match.
The BCCI is busy making money by introducing flat roads in the IPL and even giving extra leeway to batsmen with the impact player rule.
In this process… pic.twitter.com/xSZdn9OTC0
