Stunning Recovery After Difficult Tournament

The record-breaking innings was particularly important because Sooryavanshi has entered into the final under pressure.

Prior to the title clash, the teenager had struggled for the consistency in the tournament and had registered the series of low scores.

However, the final provided the perfect stage for the redemption. Instead of allowing pressure to affect his performance, Sooryavanshi has responded with one of the most explosive innings ever witnessed in the List A cricket.
