Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name is famous in the cricket world, his hitting ability is discussed not only in India but all over the world. This is because Vaibhav did not play well in just one or two innings, but ever since he made his debut in IPL, he has been playing well continuously.

Good batsmen get scared in front of Jasprit Bumrah, how come this young batsman is hitting a six on the very first ball in front of him. Recently there was discussion about him also during the England vs New Zealand Test, when the game was stopped due to rain.

When the play in the England vs New Zealand first Test was stopped due to rain, Ian Ward, Nasser Hussain and Simon Doull started a conversation in the commentary box, which soon turned to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. It started when Ward suggested that Vaibhav could open in Test cricket. Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hussain’s face, but Dool agreed and said that that day might not be far off.

Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull said, “He is not far away from it. It would be great to see. He was the highest run-scorer in the tournament (IPL 2026). I don’t know how many awards he got in total, but for a 15-year-old player it is really amazing. I loved seeing it. I don’t know in whose place he should be included, but a place should be made for him.”

Lord’s is the first ground in the world to host 150 test matches. When the England team came to bat first, Ben Duckett was out after scoring only 19 runs. Emilio Gay, Jacob Batchelor and Joe Root also went cheaply. In no time, 4 wickets of England fell till the score was 34. By the time the game was stopped due to rain, England had scored 118 runs at the loss of 8 wickets.

Joe Root had a chance to create history. If Root had scored 75 runs, he would have become the first batsman in the history of Test cricket to complete 2000 runs, but he was out after scoring only one run.

Kyle Jamieson wreaked the most havoc for New Zealand, who has taken 4 wickets so far. William O’Rourke and Nathan Smith took two wickets each.
