This is the latest eye-catching moment for a player who shot to superstardom earlier this year.

Yes, it is only a youth international but Suryavanshi is the youngest player in either squad by two-and-a-half years. He has looked at least a level or two above the rest.

Amid all of the glitz and glamour, Suryavanshi became the youngest player to score a century in any top-level men’s T20 at the IPL in April.

As a result, when he travelled to the UK for this tour, he was stopped for selfies in the airport and on the plane from India.

He appears destined to go onto big things but India are understandably cautious and want to manage the attention he receives.

The teenager has been shielded from media opportunities while it is understood there have been countless offers for big-money sponsorship deals.

There are areas to improve. His fielding has looked weak on this tour, which is to be expected given his age.

With a bat in hand, however, he is a world-class talent – one far beyond his years.
