The new teenage star of Indian cricket, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, not only performed exuberantly with the bat but also gave a funny comeback during the match between India and UAE in U19 Asia Cup which was held in Dubai. The 14-year-old wonderboy hit an unbelievable 171 off a mere 95 balls but before the bat, he caught the attention of the audience with his cleverness.
The incident happened in the 32nd over when Suryavanshi was playing in the 90s. UAE keeper Saleh Amin, who was trying to disrupt his concentration, continued talking all the time and said:
“Come on boys, 90’s curse!”
But Suryavanshi was not disturbed. Rather he came back with a witty response which made everybody surprised and laughing:
“Tere saath selfie loon?”
A self-assured, playful comeback from a 14-year-old - and a moment that went immediately viral.
