Rajasthan Royals' Vaibhav Suryavanshi Provides Blistering Start in India U19 World Cup Victory Over Pakistan

Rajasthan Royals prospect Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered an explosive start for India U19 in their crucial Super Six clash against Pakistan at the ICC U19 World Cup 2026. Despite a subsequent middle-order collapse, Suryavanshi’s aggressive approach at the top provided the early momentum needed in the high-stakes encounter.

The young opener smashed a quick 30 runs off just 22 balls, setting a rapid pace before falling to Mohammad Sayyam. His innings, characterized by power hitting, helped India overcome early pressure after being put in to bat. Although the top order struggled briefly, Suryavanshi’s initial blitz ensured India reached a competitive total of 252, which proved vital for their semi-final qualification hopes.

Suryavanshi’s performance highlights the depth of talent within the RR setup and signals his readiness for high-pressure situations. India ultimately secured a dominant victory, crushing Pakistan by 58 runs and setting up a semi-final clash against Afghanistan.
