The India A team has made a brilliant start to the tri-series currently being played in Sri Lanka, but all eyes are once again fixed on the young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 15-year-old star batsman, who grabbed headlines with his explosive performance in IPL 2026,

failed to play a substantial innings in the opening match. Consequently, fans are hoping for an explosive comeback from him in the second match against Afghanistan A.

India A will face Afghanistan A today in their second match of the tri-series in Dambulla. In the first match played at this same venue, India A defeated Sri Lanka A by eight runs in a thrilling contest. Batting first, the Indian team scored 277 runs and then bowled out the host team for 269. However,

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the most talked-about player in that match. Big things were expected from this youngster—who had batted brilliantly for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026—but he was dismissed after scoring 14 runs off 12 balls. Although he hit three fours during his brief stay at the crease, he could not remain there for long.

While Vaibhav could not make an impact with the bat, Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Tilak Varma stepped up. Gaikwad played a magnificent innings of 101 runs, while Tilak Varma scored 60, helping the team reach a strong total. With the ball, Anukul Roy and Arshad Khan played crucial roles, contributing significantly to the team's victory.

Now, all eyes will once again be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the match against Afghanistan A. Cricket fans are hoping that the young batsman will answer his critics by playing an innings that truly reflects his talent. The tri-series follows a double round-robin format, meaning every team will play two matches against each other.

If India A wins this match, their bid to reach the final will be further strengthened. For the Indian team, this match is seen not just as an opportunity for victory, but also as a test for the young players. This match will be a major opportunity for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, in particular, to prove himself.
