Saim’s cheeky send-off to 15-year-old Sooryavanshi grabs attention in final - Watch

During the Asian Games 2026 title clash, fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi began his innings aggressively by contributing fifteen runs from nine deliveries, which included a pair of maximums. His brief knock ended prematurely when an attempted reverse sweep resulted in a catch behind the stumps by the designated wicketkeeper.

The dismissal was punctuated by an expressive reaction from Saim Ayub, heightening the rivalry during this high-stakes fixture between India and Pakistan. This followed an opening coin toss won by Shreyas Iyer, who elected to send his side in to bat first.
