In the Asian Games 2026, the Indian men’s cricket team performed brilliantly and won the gold medal by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs in the final. With this victory of the team captained by Shreyas Iyer, 15-year-old young cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi also created history. He became the youngest Indian player to win a gold medal in the history of the Asian Games. Earlier, this record was in the name of shooter Saurabh Chaudhary, who won the gold medal at the age of 16 in the 2018 Asian Games. In the final against Pakistan, Vaibhav scored 15 runs in 9 balls, which included two sixes. Now after achieving a historic achievement in the Asian Games, the Indian team will have its eyes on the upcoming T20 series against West Indies, where Vaibhav will have a chance to showcase his talent and strengthen his place in the team.
