[WATCH]- Vaibhav Suryavanshi Apologizes After Powerful Shot Nearly Strikes Crew at Non-Striker’s End

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old opener for India Under-19 and Rajasthan Royals, was recently spotted practising with a GoPro camera attached to his helmet as part of a promotional shoot. In a clip shared by the franchise on X (formerly Twitter), Suryavanshi unleashed a powerful straight drive that narrowly missed crew members positioned behind the stumps at the non-striker’s end.

The young left-hander was heard apologizing immediately after playing the forceful shot.

“Sorry, sorry,” Suryavanshi could be heard saying in the video.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a stellar performance with the bat during the recently concluded India Under-19 tour of England, amassing 355 runs in five Youth ODIs at an impressive average of 71.

His standout moment came in the fourth match at Northampton, where he set a new record for the fastest century in Youth ODIs, reaching the milestone in just 52 balls at Worcester. However, his red-ball form didn’t match his white-ball brilliance, as he managed only 90 runs across the two Youth Tests.
