Sam Billings of England was among those amazed, expressing, “This is utterly absurd!!!!! 14! First ball. Look at the bat swing too, like prime Yuvi…wow.”
The young prodigy from Samastipur went on to score 34 runs, including three sixes and two fours, before being stumped by Rishabh Pant off Aiden Markram.
Initially considered a risky choice when Rajasthan Royals invested Rs 1.1 crore in him at the last year’s mega auction, Suryavanshi is proving his worth. His fearless approach, quick reactions, and clean hitting under pressure demonstrated his immense potential.
While some may find Billings’ comparison premature, few debuts have been as electrifying as this one. If Saturday night is any indication, Indian cricket may have witnessed the emergence of a future superstar.
