Vasu Vats Facts

1. Although both his parents are teachers, Vasu was never interested in studies. In his childhood, he used to travel a substantial distance daily just so that he could practice his skills at a cricket academy.
2. He first came into the spotlight in October 2021 in a Vinoo Mankad Trophy (the premier limited-overs domestic competition for men’s under-19 cricket in India) match against Nagaland where he was representing his home state of Uttar Pradesh. He had produced scarcely believable figures of 8 wickets for just 4 runs in 7 overs (3 of which were maidens). He had also picked up a hat-trick (the feat of claiming 3 wickets off 3 successive deliveries) in that match.
3. This performance, just 2 months before the 2021 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup meant that he was a certainty to be picked in India’s squad for the tournament. However, an injury just before the start of the tournament had meant that he was forced to withdraw his name.
4. He was then selected in India’s squad for the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup but was unable to break into the playing XI in India’s opening match against South Africa. Soon after that match, India’s captain Yash Dhull and 5 other members of the Indian squad had been tested positive for COVID-19. This meant that all of those players had to miss out on the next (and last) 2 matches of the group stage, against Ireland and Uganda.
5. Vasu did not make the cut for the match against Ireland but was selected in the match against Uganda. This match was his Youth ODI debut and he had bowled a spell of 1/18 in 4 overs as Uganda was bundled out for just 79 runs. India’s victory margin of 326 runs in this match was the second-biggest victory margin in the history of Youth ODIs.
6. All members of India’s squad who were affected by COVID-19 had recovered in time for the quarter-final match against Bangladesh, and the regular members of the team’s playing XI had regained their spots. Just before that match, it was reported that Vasu had suffered a hamstring injury and would miss the rest of the tournament. He had been replaced in the squad by wicketkeeper-batsman Aaradhya Yadav.
