Aaron George is a young cricketer from Kerala who is slowly making a name for himself in Indian cricket. At just 19 years old, he has already shown that he can handle pressure and deliver when it matters most. 

On Sunday, Aaron caught everyone’s attention during the Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 match between India and Pakistan, played in Dubai. It was a tough day for the Men in Blue as two key batters, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and captain Ayush Mhatre, got out early. 

With the pressure mounting and Pakistan’s bowlers in control, Aaron stayed calm and played a brilliant innings of 85 runs from 88 balls. Though he missed out on a century, his knock helped India recover from a difficult situation.

What stood out about Aaron’s batting was his maturity. Instead of hitting big shots blindly, he relied on good timing and smart shot selection. He hit one six and 12 boundaries, showing both patience and confidence.

It is worth mentioning that this wasn’t a one-off performance either. In the previous match against UAE, he scored a solid 69 runs off 73 balls, proving his consistency.
