The Vaibhav Suryavanshi showcase failed to showcase its charm against Pakistan when Team India faced off against their cross-border rivals at the ACC U19 Asia Cup 2024. After becoming a phenomenon in the IPL 2025 Auction, Suryavanshi had a chance to prove his worth against Pakistan, but he was taken out of the equation by PAK bowler Ali Raza.
During the first ball of the fourth over, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's front foot planting forced Ali Raza's delivery towards the off-side. The Pakistani bowler pitches a good-length delivery outside off. The ball flies to the wicketkeeper's left side after Vaibhav grabs the thick outer edge. Saad Baig dives to his left side to scoop the catch into his gloves. The IPL's baby crorepati had to walk back after scoring just one off nine balls as he put on a flop show against Pakistan at the U19 Asia Cup.
