In 4 Tri-Series matches, the IPL 2026 Orange Cap winner couldn't score a single half-century, getting caught out continuously.
Vaibhav, who became the highest run-scorer in IPL 2026 by surpassing legends like Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, is now struggling to score runs in the Tri-Series.
In the 4 matches played so far, he has scored just 117 runs at an average of less than 30. This performance is in stark contrast to his IPL average of around 50.
Suryavanshi, who hit 72 sixes in the IPL, has managed only 3 sixes in this series so far, which clearly shows his struggle.
The most worrying aspect is the manner of his dismissals. Vaibhav has returned to the pavilion after being caught out in all four matches of this series.
Sometimes he loses his wicket to a short-pitched ball, and other times he gets caught while trying to drive a full-length delivery.
In the match against Afghanistan A, he survived being dismissed 4 times, but was eventually caught on the fifth occasion. This shows that he is not learning from his mistakes.
These 4 matches have exposed Vaibhav Suryavanshi's biggest weakness. A lack of patience in the 50-over format has become a major problem for him.
He tries to hit a big shot on every ball, which is causing him to lose his wicket.
Cricket experts believe that, "Vaibhav needs to learn how to respect good balls. The mentality of sending every ball to the boundary does not work in the longer format."
Additionally, Suryavanshi, who scored runs on the flat pitches of the IPL, was seen struggling on the bowler-friendly pitch of Dambulla. This also points to his technical flaw.
Some of his weaknesses were also exposed during the IPL, but it was hoped that he would improve with time. However, this has not been seen so far.
Now, the final match of this series remains, in which all eyes will once again be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This could be his last chance to prove himself.
