<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIndia’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi announced his arrival on the international stage in emphatic fashion, winning both the Player of the Match and Player of the Series awards after starring in India’s 3-0 T20I series sweep over Zimbabwe in Harare. Sooryavanshi finished as India’s highest run-scorer in the series with 151 runs in three innings, blending fearless strokeplay with remarkable composure beyond his years. His performances earned him his first-ever international Player of the Match award and maiden Player of the Series honour, a fitting reward after dominating Zimbabwe’s bowling attack throughout the series.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Series Performance<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking after receiving both awards at the post-match presentation, the youngster described the moment as the fulfilment of a lifelong ambition.<\/p>\n “It felt really good. Our preparation was very good during the two or three days after we arrived in Harare. I also played the Under-19 World Cup here, so I really enjoy playing at this venue, everyone backed me, the captain, the coaches, everyone, so I’m very happy,” Sooryvanashi said. Known for his attacking style, Sooryavanshi said he never changed his natural game despite making the step up to international cricket.“My game is the same as what I play in T20 cricket. I was just trying to do that for the team. In all three matches, I tried to give the team a good start. If I got a good start, then I wanted to make the innings bigger. That was my only approach. What I do in practice, I try to replicate it in the match as well. Dream come true, my first Player of the Match and Player of the Series!” Sooryavanshi added. <\/p>\n India completed a 3-0 T20I series sweep over Zimbabwe with a convincing 35-run victory in the third and final match at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday.
