Sat Nov 30 15:36:12 UTC 2024: ## India’s Million-Dollar Under-19 Cricketer Fails to Deliver Against Pakistan
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the recently acquired Rajasthan Royals player who fetched a hefty ₹1.1 crore at the IPL mega auction, had a disappointing performance in the Asia Under-19 Cup against Pakistan. The young cricketer managed only 1 run off 9 balls, a stark contrast to the high expectations following his lucrative IPL deal. While several franchises bid for Suryavanshi, Rajasthan Royals ultimately secured his services. Despite his million-dollar contract, reports indicate that Suryavanshi’s actual earnings will be significantly less after taxes and IPL salary deductions. The match itself saw a considerable Pakistan victory, delivering a blow to the Indian Under-19 team before the upcoming Champions Trophy. Interestingly, Suryavanshi’s cricketing idol is not an Indian legend like Dhoni, Kohli, or Rohit Sharma, but rather an unnamed foreign player.
