Rajasthan Royals superstar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi produced a flop show in the Under-19 Youth Test vs England team on Wednesday. Under tricky conditions, Suryavanshi failed to deliver the goods, and in the second innings, he was dismissed for a golden duck by England's Alex Green, as India were pushed on back-foot.

To put this into context, the RR opener also flopped in the first innings, as he scored a brisk 20 off 14 balls, but failed to carry the momentum as Green was the chief destroyer once again. The opener never looked comfortable as Green made him his bunny for the second time in the game. 

This was a test of skill for the 14-year-old, who has been superb with the bat on the England tour, but when it mattered the most, Green had the last laugh by getting his wicket at a crucial juncture.

Suryavanshi's dream tour of England

The twin failure in the 2nd unofficial Test shouldn't be a parameter to judge Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has been an outstanding form for India for the future. 

In the ODIs against England Under-19, the youngster showcased his calibre and announced his arrival with scores of 48, 45, 86, 143, and 33. All of his knocks, barring the final ODI, came at more than run-a-ball, showcasing his aggressive instincts in white-ball cricket. The ODI series showcased the youngster's mettle in white-ball cricket.

A slow start to his red-ball career

Everyone expected Suryavanshi to replicate the white-ball form in Tests, but it turned out to be a slow start for the batter. In 4 innings, he could only score a solitary fifty as the English bowlers found a method to curtail his scoring-rate. In the 4 innings on this tour, Suryavanshi could only accumulate 90 runs.
