Vaibhav Suryavanshi says ‘ball daal na’ after Pakistan pacer tries to needle him, then smacks him for four next delivery

There was a constant back-and-forth chatter between Suryavanshi and Pakistan speedster Ubaid Shah, with neither willing to take a step back. Whenever the left-handed batter was failing to connect, Shah was staring, seemingly mocking the youngster. However, the third over of the game saw Suryavanshi giving it back to the pacer. After failing to connect an inside-out shot, the batter, who represents the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), asked Shah to focus on his bowling.

"Ball dal na, ball dall. (Bowl the ball, just bowl the ball)," Suryavanshi was heard as saying on the stump mic.

On the very next delivery, Suryavanshi then connected a boundary and was awarded a four for his effort. After hitting the boundary, the left-hander went up to his opening partner, Priyansh Arya.

The Pakistan pacer was unable to say anything as Suryavanshi ended up having the last laugh.

Suryavanshi's effort in vain

Suryavanshi's efforts went in vain as his 45-run knock was not enough to help India post a competitive total on the board. From 79/1, India endured a collapse, getting bowled out for 136, and Pakistan had no difficulty in chasing this total down.

Suryavanshi's wicket off the bowling of Sufiyan Muqeem turned out to be the turning point as India A lost all momentum and the side lost the remaining seven wickets for just 45 runs. Pakistan cruised home to an eight-wicket win with 40 balls in hand as opening batter Maaz Sadaqat returned with a 79-run knock off 47 balls.

India A will now face off against Oman on Tuesday, November 18, at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha.
