India’s young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi got involved in an on-field sledging incident during the U19 Asia Cup fixture against UAE in Dubai. The aggressive left-handed batter who notched up yet another hundred gave a perfect reply to wicket-keeper Saleh Amin in the 32nd over.
While Suryavanshi was in his 90s, Amin kept chirping from behind, “Come on boys. 90’s curse. 90’s curse.” The Indian batter got a bit agitated and replied, “Tere saath selfie loon?”.
He later went on to score a massive 171 off 95, a knock that included 14 maximums and 9 fours as India U19 posted 433/6 in 50 overs while batting first. Apart from Suryavanshi, Aaron George, Vihaan Malhotra, wicket-keeper batter Abhigyan Kundu and Kanishk Chouhan also chipped in with important contributions to help the side put up a big score on the board.
