Vaibhav Sooryavanshi came up with a sensational knock against Sri Lanka-A in final of the Tri-Nation A series 2026.
The Tri-Nation A series started in Sri Lanka on June 9, and the final is being played on June 21 in the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium between India-A and Sri Lanka-A.
India won two matches out of four, defeating both the teams once. Whereas, Sri Lanka reached the final dominantly with three wins. Tilak Varma is leading the Men in Blue and has scored 275 runs in 5 matches, while his deputy Ruturaj Gaikwad stands closely with 274 runs.

India’s starboy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the main curator of this buzz ahead of the final. He did not have satisfactory performance in the series, and could score only 117 runs in the four matches, with no half centuries.
