A 227-run opening partnership is just phenomenal. George and Suryavanshi complement each other so well. Hope they keep this form for the World Cup!

While the batting was explosive, the middle-order collapse from a great position is a bit concerning. Need to work on finishing strong. Still, a massive total! 💪

Suryavanshi's stats are unbelievable for a U19 player. An average of 54 in Youth ODIs with that strike rate? He's a special talent. Can't wait to see him in the IPL.

Shout out to Mohamed Enaan and Henil Patel for that crucial late partnership. Taking the score from 335/7 to 393/7 made all the difference. Team effort! 👏
