Vaibhav Suryavanshi in focus as all eyes on youngster to convert starts; India U19 Predicted XI vs England U19
India U19 Predicted XI vs England U19: India U19 will look to make a solid comeback as they take on the English counterparts in the 3rd Youth ODI.
Despite narrowly losing the second Youth ODI in a last-over thriller, India U19 are expected to stick with an unchanged playing XI for the third game of the five-match series against England. The young side, which registered a convincing win in the first ODI and came within one wicket of sealing back-to-back victories, will likely back the same personnel to deliver in the upcoming contest.
A key name in India’s consistent top-order performance has been opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The right-hander has emerged as a pillar at the top, registering scores of 48 and 45 in the first two matches. His ability to anchor the innings and absorb pressure early on has given India solid starts, especially after the early dismissal of captain Ayush Mhatre in the second ODI. Suryavanshi’s form will once again be crucial if India are to go 2-1 up in the series.

The middle order, featuring Vihaan Malhotra (49), Rahul Kumar (47), and Kanishk Chouhan (45), all chipped in with valuable contributions in the last match and are expected to retain their spots. Abhigyan Kundu’s 32-run knock further solidifies India’s depth in the middle overs.
