Is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi following Sachin Tendulkar's 90s curse?

## Young Talent Faces Familiar Challenge

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a promising 15-year-old cricketer, is drawing comparisons to Sachin Tendulkar due to his frequent dismissals in the 90s. Over the past nine months, Sooryavanshi has been out seven times in the 90s, a pattern reminiscent of Tendulkar's own struggles during his career.

## Recent Performance

In a recent Duleep Trophy semi-final, Sooryavanshi scored 92 runs against Central Zone before being caught out while attempting a six. His scores in the 90s include 93, 96, 93, 97, 96, 94, and 92, often falling while playing aggressively.

## Record-Breaking Potential

Despite missing out on a century, Sooryavanshi broke a 57-year-old record by becoming the youngest player to score a fifty in the Duleep Trophy. Had he scored eight more runs, he would have surpassed Tendulkar's record as the youngest to score a century in the tournament.

## A Pattern to Avoid

While Sooryavanshi's achievements are impressive, his repeated dismissals in the 90s highlight a challenge he shares with Tendulkar, who was dismissed 27 times in the 90s during his international career. Sooryavanshi's seven dismissals have occurred across various competitions, including domestic and IPL matches, before even turning 16.
