Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name in the history books as he continued his golden run of form during the first Youth Test match between India and England, which took place from July 12 to 15 at the Kent Cricket Ground in Beckenham and ended in a draw. The 14-year-old was the highest run-getter in the ODI series following a dream debut season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the opening Test of the series, Suryavansh had a failure with the bat in the first innings as he was dismissed for 14 runs. However, he made a strong comeback in the second outing with a knock of 56 in just 44 balls. In the first innings, he also showed prowess with the ball as his left-arm spin produced two wickets.
