Overview

• Vaibhav Suryavanshi has begun a week-long personalised training programme at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru focusing on technical and match-specific drills.
• He is accompanied by childhood coach Manish Ojha, who says the intensive stint forms part of a BCCI succession strategy as senior stars retire.
• The programme prioritises enhancing his red-ball consistency to match his white-ball success, addressing a drop in impact during longer formats.
• His recent milestones include becoming the youngest IPL centurion in 2025 and scoring 355 runs with a fastest 52-ball century during the U19 England tour.
• After completing the NCA session, he will join the India U19 squad for an Australia tour beginning September 21 with three ODIs and two Tests.
