BCCI sends Vaibhav Suryavanshi to Edgbaston less than 24 hours after he destroys England U19 team: 'Just like Gill...'

Written by Atharva Jori
Budding Indian cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who took world cricket by storm with his flamboyance during the IPL 2025 season earlier this year, followed by fiery knocks in the ongoing U19 ODI tour of England, was spotted at the Edgbasto cricket ground on Thursday, where he witnessed the historic Shubman Gill knock Carrying his sublime form and adding to his overnight knock of century, Gill added a hundred more on Day 2 to become the first-ever Indian captain to score a double century in a Test match in England. He also became the first Asian skipper to score 200 in a SENA country, surpassing the previous best of 193 by Tillakaratne Dilshan at Lord's in 2011, while the knock was only the second instance in history where an Indian skipper scored a double ton in an overseas Test, after Virat Kohli's 200 at North Sound in 2016. Moments after Gill's wild celebration in Birmingham, which propelled India's score well past 500, the cameraman caught Vaibhav in the stands, who the BCCI sent to catch a glimpse of the senior team in action, less than 24 hours after his blitzkrieg knock of 86 runs against England U19 in the third ODI match of the series. Vaibhav, who played for Rajasthan Royals in the last IPL season and became the youngest centurion in men's T20 history, was in attendance alongside the rest of the India U19 team, including captain Ayush Mahtre. The youngster, too, was a revelation during the IPL 2025, following his impressive show for Chennai Super Kings.

CRICKET..!

Written by Atharva Jori Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...
