Match Report
The 3rd and final T20I of the Zimbabwe series. Vaibhav sealed it with a stunning 81 off 49 balls — 4 sixes and 8 fours — at a strike rate of 165.31.
India won by 8 wickets to complete a 3-0 series sweep. Vaibhav finished as India's top scorer in the series with 151 runs and was named Player of the Series.
With this innings, he achieved another historic milestone: becoming the first player in the history of men's international cricket to register two 50+ scores before turning 16. His two half-centuries on the Zimbabwe tour (50 off 19 and 81 off 49) were both match-defining knocks.
In just 6 T20I innings, Vaibhav had scored 193 runs at a strike rate of 164.96. The numbers were impressive, but the manner of the runs — fearless, clean, and decisive — told the bigger story. India's newest batting sensation was the real deal.
