Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his younger brother Ashirwad Suryavanshi

New Delhi: Cricket seems to run in the Suryavanshi family. Days after making headlines with a century in the practice match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s younger brother Ashirwad once again impressed with the bat and produced another stellar performance, scoring 168 runs off just 119 balls.The 10-year-old, who started playing cricket only six months ago, represented Rishav XI in a practice match and took the competition by storm with an aggressive innings of 19 fours and six sixes. He scored at a strike rate of 141.18 and continued to display the fearless approach that has already gained him attention in local cricket circles. His latest century comes soon after declaring a brilliant innings of 103 runs off 87 balls in his first match for the Cricket Academy Tajpur. That innings included 20 fours and one six, underscoring his natural stroke-making ability.The young player’s rapid progress did not go unnoticed. Vaibhav, who is currently in Ireland with the Indian team for the T20 series, shared an Instagram story celebrating his younger brother’s latest achievement.

Ashirwad’s story is especially noteworthy because he has only recently started playing cricket. Despite less than a year of formal training, he has already scored several big scores.Although comparisons with Vaibhav are inevitable, the two brothers have different styles. Vaibhav is a left-handed batsman who can also bowl spin, while Ashirwad bats right-handed and bowls right-arm medium pace. The young player sees himself as an all-rounder and is starting to make his mark on the cricket field.
