EX-CROREPATI VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI'S BATTING VIDEO AGAINST AUSTRALIA A GOES VIRAL AMID AGE CONTROVERSY, CRICKET FANS LEFT DIVIDED

Mumbai, Nov 26 (ANI): A video of Indian cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi's batting performance against the Australian A team went viral on social media platforms, sparking a heated debate over his age. The 18-year-old had bowled an impressive 10/42 in the match but was also seen using a wristband to hide age on his ball. Fans are divided over Suryavanshi's age, with some calling out for greater transparency from the cricket board.

According to sources close to the board, several tests were conducted to verify the player's identity and medical clearance before clearing him to participate. However, the controversy surrounding Suryavanshi's identity has raised questions about the age verification process for young cricketers.

Suryavanshi is said to have made his debut in a domestic tournament earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether he will continue to play cricket at the professional level amidst this ongoing scrutiny. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not released an official statement on the matter yet.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the Board's response to this developing story and the potential implications it may have on the future of young cricketers like Suryavanshi.
