‘Chaar mahine mein kaafi ups and downs aaye’: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi starts fresh in Zimbabwe | Cricket News
New Delhi: Just a few months ago, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi left Harare Sports Club as the hero of India’s Under-19 World Cup victory. The 15-year-old smashed 175 off 80 balls against England in the final, helping India win the title by 100 runs.Now, Sooryavanshi is back at the same venue but this time in the Indian senior team. India will take on Zimbabwe in a three-match T20I series starting from July 23. All three games will be played at Harare Sports Club, where the youngster hopes to make new memories.Speaking to BCCI.tv, Sooryavanshi said returning to Harare brings special memories.“Harare is an unforgettable stadium. Four Under-19 players performed brilliantly at the World Cup.” India stands for karna har kisi ka sapna hota hai. Kafi special moment ha. Aur itne achhe ground pe jispe humne 4 mahine pehle history creation kiya tha uspe wapas se aana aur khelna alag hi maja hai. Enjoy Kalunga [Harare is a very memorable ground for me. Four months ago, we played and won the Under-19 World Cup here. Representing India is every youngster’s dream, so it is a very special moment. Coming back to the same ground where we created history a few months ago and getting another chance to play here feels amazing. We will enjoy it]”
Sooryavanshi aims to bounce back
Suryavanshi’s debut in India’s premium colors did not go as planned. The young batsman scored 14, 13 and 15 runs in the three T20 matches against England as India lost the five-match series 0-4. In two of those innings, he was bowled off the short ball of Jofra Archer.Despite the tough nature of the tour, the youngster said he remains optimistic and focused on moving forward.“4 mahine, jaise aapne bola, 4 mahine mein kaafi ups and downs aaye. But cricket kapart hai, life mein aisa chalta rahega. Apan wahi process follow karenge aur team ko apna hundred percent denge. [As you mentioned, the last four months have had plenty of ups and downs. But that’s part of cricket and life. We will keep following the same process and give our hundred percent for the team]”Soryavanshi, who has already enjoyed success in Harare, believes his knowledge of the local conditions will help him in the Zimbabwe series.“Pitch aur jo bhi condition hain, uske baare mein kaafi idea laga tha us time par bhi. Toh try karunga jo mujhe idea laga hai usko match mein apply karne ka aur achha karne ka. Is ground par maine 2 match khele the. Dono kaafi achhe gaye the. Ab try karunga usko carryover karne ka [I already have a good idea about the pitches and conditions here from last time. I will try to use that experience in the matches and perform well. I have played two matches at this ground, and both went really well. Now I will try to carry that form forward]”.“Jo practice my kart aa rahe hain, usko back to karunga. Jo mera game sea, usko back to karunga aur team ke liye jo bhi contribution de sakta hoon game mein, woh dene ki try karunga [I will back everything that I have been doing in practice. I will back my game and try to contribute as much as I can for the team]. “India enters the Zimbabwe series after a rough patch, having lost the T20I series 0-2 in Ireland and 0-4 in England under new captain Shreyas Iyer. The team also lost the ODI series 1-2 to England under Shubman Gill.
