Fans created ruckus on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s jerseyImage Credit Source: Instagram
Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues. At the age of just 14, this small batsman has set many records. Vaibhav has made his identity not only in India, but also in world cricket. In IPL 2025, he had left his mark, now his sting is playing in England too. But while this young batsman has made many records due to the rain of sixes and four, now Indian fans are very unhappy with one thing related to him. The reason for this is the jersey number of Vaibhav.
In fact, in the Under-19 series between India and England, Vaibhav Suryavanshi looted a lot of applause with his quick batting. In the series being played in England, Vaibhav scored history by scoring a century in just 52 balls. Apart from the batting of Vaibhav, during this time, his jersey also caught the attention of fans because he too came out to play wearing a blue jersey of 18 number like Virat Kohli.

Fans raging on number 18 test jersey
There was no controversy on that jersey of Vaibhav, but after this, Vaibhav descended wearing a white jersey number 18 in the youth Test match between the two teams. This time too, this jersey caught attention, but many Indian fans did not like this this time and they fiercely raised the BCCI. Indian fans heard the BCCI on the fact that Virat Kohli has retired from Test cricket, so he should not give the number 18 jersey to another player in this format.

Vaibhav showed power in England
Although the target of Indian fans is primarily BCCI, some fans also appealed to Vaibhav that wearing this jersey number, we should perform a strong performance for Team India, as Virat Kohli did for a long time. As far as the performance is concerned, Vaibhav scored the most runs in the 5 Youth ODI series, on which India won the series 3-2. At the same time, after failing in the first innings of the Test match, Vaibhav scored a half -century in the second innings.
Why Number 18 Again?
