Vaibhav Sooryavanshi struggles to convert starts in India A tri‑series

India A’s left‑handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has yet to post a substantial innings in the three‑match tri‑series involving Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. He made 14 runs in the first match against Sri Lanka, 44 in the second versus Afghanistan, and 21 in the third against Sri Lanka, registering only a single six across the three games.

Cricket analysts attribute the modest totals to Sooryavanshi’s high‑risk, attacking style meeting the slow, low‑bouncing Dambulla pitch. The conditions limit the effectiveness of his powerful strokes, and experts say he must adjust his technique and shot selection if he hopes to secure a place in India’s senior squad and perform on future overseas tours.
