From England Struggles To Zimbabwe Breakthrough

Sooryavanshi's latest Instagram post comes after a far more productive international assignment in Zimbabwe.

The youngster scored 151 runs in three innings, including an unbeaten 81, and finished the series as India's leading run-scorer. He also recorded two half-centuries while averaging 50.33 and striking at 196.10.

His performances earned him the Player of the Series award as India secured a T20I series victory under newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer.

That came after a difficult first international assignment in England, where Sooryavanshi failed to cross 20 in any of his three innings as India lost the series 4-1.

Teenage Star Already Breaking Records

Sooryavanshi made his India debut against England at just 15 years and 99 days, becoming the youngest Indian cricketer to play international cricket.

His debut also saw him surpass the long-standing age records associated with Sachin Tendulkar.

Across six T20Is so far, Sooryavanshi has scored 193 runs at an average of 32.16 and a strike rate of 189.21, with two half-centuries.

Now, with a leadership role added to his rapidly expanding list of milestones, his next challenge will come in the longer format.

And judging by his latest message, the teenager already knows what comes next: preparation.
