The 15-year-old achieved success after starring in India’s 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe in Harare. Sooryavanshi finished as the leading run scorer of the series with 151 runs in three innings and ended the campaign with a match-winning 81 off 49 balls in the final T20I. The left-handed opener has shown impressive adaptability throughout the series. After announcing himself with a blistering 50 off just 18 balls in the opener, Sooryavanshi produced a more measured innings in the decider on a slow pitch. His knock of 81, with eight fours and four sixes, powered India to 192/5 before the visitors completed a 35-run victory. His consistency in three matches earned him the Player of the Series award, making him the youngest recipient of the award in men’s international cricket. After receiving the award, Sooryavanshi credited his preparation for the successful streak. “I try to repeat what I do in training,” he said. “I had a good time to prepare after the England tour and I am happy to score these points for the team and contribute to the series win. It was my dream to do this for India.” The award marked a significant turnaround for the teenager, who endured a difficult first international series in England earlier this month. After replacing Sachin Tendulkar as India’s youngest international cricketer, Sooryavanshi managed scores of 14, 13 and 15 in the T20I series against England before being dropped for the final game, which India also lost to concede the series 4–0. However, the selectors insisted on the young batter for the Zimbabwe tour, backing him to rediscover the form that made him one of India’s brightest prospects. Their faith was rewarded as Sooryavanshi dominated at Harare Sports Club, a venue where he had already grabbed headlines earlier this year with a stunning 175 off 80 balls against England in the U-19 World Cup final.
