IND19 vs SA19, Vaibhav Suryavanshi: We all have seen a lot of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's batting. Even big bowlers have been seen asking for water in front of the power of his bat. But, during the tour of South Africa, his captaincy skills were also clearly visible against the Under-19 team there. In the second ODI of the series, a decision of Indian Under-19 team captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi had a bad impact on the South African U19 team. The big thing is that the decision of captain Suryavanshi which put South Africa in trouble during the match, was taken outside the field.

Which decision did Vaibhav Suryavanshi take?

Now you must be wondering what decision did Vaibhav Suryavanshi take while outside the field, whose effect was visible inside the field. That decision of captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi was related to the selection of the team. Compared to the first ODI played on January 3, there was a change in the Indian team in the second ODI. Vaibhav Suryavanshi took a big decision to play Kishan Singh in place of Henil Patel in the second ODI. Now the question is, how was the effect of that decision visible on the field?

How did the decision to feed Kishan Singh show its impact?

After that decision of Vaibhav, Kishan Singh became the call for the top order of South Africa Under 19 team inside the field. South Africa's Under-19 team, which won the toss and batted first, did not lose a single wicket for 35 runs. But, after that Kishan Singh gave him 3 blows one after the other in the next 22 runs. He single-handedly dismissed the top 3 batsmen of the South Africa Under 19 team.

Kishan wreaked havoc on top order

Kishan Singh gave the first blow to South Africa Under 19 by dismissing opener Adnan.

After that, in his very next over, he also dismissed the second opener Zorich. Kishan Singh came in his next over and further reduced the headache of his captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This time he hunted the captain of South Africa U19. In this way, the South Africa Under 19 team suffered three major setbacks even before the 11th over.
