**Dubai, UAE** – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 13-year-old who recently made headlines as the youngest-ever IPL signing, had a disappointing debut in the U19 Asia Cup. The Rajasthan Royals player was dismissed for just one run against Pakistan A at the Dubai International Stadium.

Suryavanshi, known for his aggressive batting style, appeared uncomfortable throughout his nine-ball innings. He chased a good-length delivery from Ali Raza, offering a simple catch to the wicketkeeper. His eagerness to hit big shots proved costly against the tight bowling of the Pakistan team.

The dismissal further hampered India’s chase of 282 runs in their opening match. Prior to the match, Suryavanshi, who was acquired by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.1 crore, cited Brian Lara as his idol and expressed his focus on winning the Asia Cup. He also spoke about his recent century in a Youth Test against Australia. Despite his previous successes, including becoming the youngest batter to score an international century, Suryavanshi’s U19 Asia Cup debut was a less-than-auspicious start to the tournament.
