Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the young starlet from the IPL, experienced a humbling start to his Youth Test career against England U-19. The highly anticipated player was dismissed for a golden duck, a stark contrast to his impressive IPL performances. This unexpected setback put India in a challenging position while chasing a formidable 355 runs.

However, hope ignited for India with the electrifying arrival of captain Ayush Mhatre. Mhatre unleashed a blistering century, single-handedly turning the tide of the match with an explosive counter-attack. His stunning innings was crucial in steadying the ship, aided by valuable contributions from Vihaan Malhotra and Abhigyan Kundu.

Thanks to their combined efforts, India ended the day with a significantly reduced deficit, leaving them needing just 128 runs to claim victory. The stage is set for a thrilling final day, with the question remaining: Can India capitalize on Mhatre’s heroics and secure the win?
