After being given the chance to play as the impact player during the second innings, Suryavanshi didn't waste any time. The commentators' reaction to those six had also gone viral.
He then just didn't stop himself there. As in the next over, he had smashed Avesh Khan for yet another six on the first ball. Avesh had bowled a fuller delivery, which had hit the middle of the bat and the youngster smashed it over Avesh's head.
Suryavanshi was also fortunate enough as the ball did touch the leading edge as the batter tried to play a pull shot but Abdul Samad dropped the catch standing on the deep. Suryavanshi was finally dismissed during the ninth over by part-time spinner Aiden Markram as LSG skipper Rishabh Pant successfully removed the bails. Suryavanshi got out after scoring 34 runs off 20 balls.
