Aashirvad Sooryavanshi, the younger brother of the hot talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, has made headlines with a strong innings in domestic cricket. As a Rishav XI player, the young boy got 168 runs off 199 deliveries and did it through patience and power. He struck 19 fours and six sixes and the team won 311/7.
The innings has received attention for its sheer run rate and maturity of Aashirvad at a young age. He was able to keep the momentum going while taking the pitch in the middle of the innings and getting out fast when he was in the middle of his runs. He’s a player who is going to be in the next few years if he can strike the ball and keep it in the right place both for his team with his strike rotation and boundary hitting skills.
The buzz was also helped by the involvement of his elder brother Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who has already become a household name after the record-breaking IPL season he won as a player this year. Vaibhav, who has been on top of his game since birth so that he can keep his family updated with all about cricket (“I have many fans, I am proud and proud of him”) and posted the scorecard of Aashirvad’s innings on his social media page.
Now the Sooryavanshi family seems to be nurturing another cricketing prodigy. Vaibhav has already been hailed as India’s next big superstar and Aashirvad’s performance tells us talent runs deep in the family. If he is well-managed he could follow in his brother’s footsteps and make a mark at the best level of competitive cricket.
Aashirvad’s temperament has been praised in local cricket circles; his long innings of steady strike rate is consistent with professional players. His knock was not only about personal milestones but also about contributing to his team’s success and that is something coaches care a lot about.
Aashirvad Sooryavanshi’s 168-run innings has only made him the next big thing in cricket. With Vaibhav’s encouragement and now all eyes following him, Aashirvad’s career will be closely watched by fans who want to see if he can follow in the steps of his brother’s meteoric rise. But for now, his great performance for Rishav XI is proof of his potential and the possibility of another Sooryavanshi winning cricketing gold.
