As the dust settled on the pitch and cheers echoed through the stadium, Suryavanshi reached for his phone—not to bask in the limelight, but to call his father. The moment, captured and shared widely, showed an overwhelmed young prodigy sharing his joy and disbelief with the man who had seen him grow through every cricketing milestone.
His father’s voice trembled with pride, calling it a dream come true.
