In this collection of pictures, we shall know why Vaibhav Suryavanshi has stopped scoring runs after IPL 2026. What is the real reason?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is 15 years old star batter who made headlines with his explosive batting in IPL 2026 and he is currently struggling to score big runs in the ongoing tri-series. Playing for India A against Sri Lanka A on Monday on 15th June, he once again failed to get a big score.
In the match played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 21 runs off 14 balls, hitting three 4s and one 6. He was dismissed by the Sri Lankan captain, Sahan Arachchige. Vaibhav tried to hit a big shot over the covers, but he mistimed it and was caught by Vanuja Sahan.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi did not perform well in his last two matches either, with his tournament scores of 14, 44, and 21 looking very different from his aggressive IPL style. In the first match, he was dismissed by Sri Lanka-A fast bowler Mohamed Shiraz with a full-length delivery. In the second game, he got a great start but fell into a bouncer trap and was out to Afghanistan-A fast bowler Abdullah Ahmadzai. Finally, in the third match, he was fooled by a spin bowler, showing that he has struggled against different types of bowling throughout the tournament.
In IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi dominated the bowlers by playing explosive innings for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) which caught the attention of cricket experts and fans. Because of this great performance, people had high expectations for him when he joined the India A team. However, moving closer to international cricket brings a lot of pressure and the bowlers from Sri Lanka-A and Afghanistan A planned better against him, which is clearly affecting his batting now.
Even though Vaibhav gets good starts, he is unable to play long innings. He seems to be putting too much pressure on himself and is struggling to play his natural game, despite getting a lot of advice. In the IPL, the team management allowed him to play freely, and it worked really well. If Vaibhav can bat without pressure again, he will definitely regain his form. While T20 and One-Day cricket are different, he should stick to his own style and bat without any fear.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is still at the beginning of his career and these kinds of ups and downs are normal for any young player. No one doubts his talent, but his biggest challenge now is to score runs consistently and play long innings. The Indian team management and fans are hoping he will quickly find his rhythm and show the same explosive batting that made him one of the most talked about young players in IPL 2026. For now, his recent scores show that the storm he created in the IPL has not yet arrived for India A.
