India, Dec. 22 -- Vaibhav Suryavanshi's U19 ODI numbers are loud enough to make bowlers panic - and quiet enough lately to raise a real batting question: is the ultra-aggressive method costing him repeatable returns?

That 171 at the U19 Asia Cup is the kind of innings that makes selectors dream big. But if you track him chronologically across the last few U19 ODI series, a pattern pops: high impact spikes.....followed by long stretches where he doesn't even get set.

In the last 13 innings of his Youth ODI, one can see a pretty clear story of reduced consistency in recent outings.

In the England Youth ODI series, he was regularly landing meaningful contributions: four 40+ scores in five innings.

Fast forward to the U19 Asia Cup: on pap...
