For the second time in two games, Jofra Archer got the better of his Rajasthan Royals teammate Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, dismissing the 15-year-old for a 10-ball 15 at Bristol.
After scoring 27 runs in his first two T20I appearances for India, Sooryavanshi’s day ended in the third over of the fourth T20I when he holed out a delivery from Archer to Sam Curran at mid-on. Before Thursday’s game, in the England series, Sooryavanshi had hit four sixes in his first two games. He added just one more to that tally on Thursday.
After India won the toss and Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first, it took Sooryavanshi six balls before he hit his first convincing shot of the game: a back of a length ball from Josh Tongue was slapped to deep extra cover for a four. The next ball, a shorter one with width, was upper-cut for a six at the deep fine leg boundary.
Sooryavanshi had made his intent known from the first ball from Archer, a wide ball outside the legside.
