Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is once again the biggest star attraction.
India A take on Afghanistan A in the second match of the ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka. Like first match, this match will be played in Dambulla. India A won their first game against hosts Sri Lanka A in a thriller. After scoring 277, they bowled out the hosts for 269. However, teenage star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was a disappointment. In the lead-up to the match, all eyes were on him thanks to his exploits in the 2026 Indian Premier League for Rajasthan Royals.
But his innings lasted just 12 balls and he scored 14 runs with the help of three fours. He disappointed but Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Tilak Varma didn’t. Gaikwad and Varma scored 101 and 60 respectively to take India A to a competitive total.
Today, once again the spotlight will be on Sooryavanshi. It may be noted that the tri-series is in the double round robin format, and another win will make India feel good about their chances for the final showdown.

India A vs Afghanistan A, Tri-series, Live Score: How a format changes everything!
India A vs Afghanistan A, Tri-series, Live Score: Just a couple of weeks back, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad came in for a lot of criticism after his team failed to qualify for the playoffs. His batting was questioned, if he really was a good fit for the format. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Priyansh Arya, on the other hand, were superstars. But against Sri Lanka A in a different format, it was Gaikwad who came to the team’s rescue.

India A vs Afghanistan A, Tri-series, Live Score: Adaptability is key!
India A vs Afghanistan A, Tri-series, Live Score: Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Tilak Varma showed against Sri Lanka A how to bat under pressure. After three early wickets, they got into the repair work straight away and eventually added 150 for the fourth wicket to bail India out. Varma particularly took his own sweet time. He didn’t look in a hurry! Quite remarkable for a player who is known for his extraordinary power-hitting in the shortest format of the game. So, changing your game as per match situations is key.

India A vs Afghanistan A, Tri-series, Live Score: His innings against Sri Lanka A lasted just 12 balls. Which is okay. Not a big deal. But what was surprising was that there wasn’t a single six during his innings. There were three fours instead. Isn’t it surprising? A cricketer who just a few days back set an IPL record for most sixes in a season fails to hit even one biggie during his innings!

Maybe it’s today when he adds more to his legend.
