Pakistan trolled for fielding - (Source: X.com)
In the ongoing Under-19 World Cup 2026 super six match between India and Pakistan, the Boys in Green are facing the heat of the trolls for their brutal errors on the field. Notably, Pakistan won the toss and asked India to bat first.
The Ayush Mhatre-led side, batting first, put 234/7 on the board. Eyes were on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but the southpaw again failed against Pakistan U19 and amassed just 30 (22), which featured five fours and a solitary six.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi given two lifelines
Notably, Pakistan had the opportunity to have Vaibhav Suryanshi out early on in his innings, but the Boys in Green made a mockery of themselves after they handed the southpaw two lifelines. On the 4th ball of the 8th over, Vaibhav mistimed a shot that went straight up in the air. However, the fielder dropped a dolly catch.
Pakistan had the chance to get Suryavanshi out again on the same ball because the southpaw was out of his crease. Pakistan could have got Vaibhav out, but they again missed the chance, and the situation turned into a comical moment.
Eventually, Suryavanshi departed on 30, but Pakistan faced heavy criticism for their missed efforts, particularly Sameer Minhas who missed the crucial run-out chance that would have put Pakistan in a much more comfortable situation.

India have had a great campaign so far as the Ayush Mhatre-led side have not lost a single match. The Boys in Blue qualified for the super six with three straight-wins and have now set a foot in the semi-finals as they are second on the table.
Shedding light on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, all eyes were on the 14-year-old youngster, but the southpaw has had a decent outing so far. Vaibhav is known for his powerhitting but has amassed just 196 runs in five innings. Suryavanshi has averaged 39.20 and is still searching for his maiden hundred in the tournament.
The 14-year-old has two fifty plus scores so far and is yet to click against higher-ranked teams in youth ODIs.
Suryavanshi extends concerning performance against Pakistan U19
For the unversed, Vaibhav Suryavanshi boasts a brilliant youth ODI stats as the left-handed batter has 1169 runs in 23 innings. However, when it comes to scoring against Pakistan, Suryavanshi is yet to click.
Notably, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has played four matches against the neighbouring country and scored just 62 runs, averaging 15.50. It is his worst average against a high-ranked team. Suryavanshi has also faced the flak for the same as he failed with the bat during U19 Asia Cup final.
During the final, India were tasked to chase down a high total, a platform set-up perfectly for the youngster. However, he failed and also engaged in a verbal argument. Nonetheless, his 30-run knock in today's game is his highest score against the Boys in Green, which is a positive sign for 14-year-old.
