He finished that innings with 143 runs from 78 balls, including 10 sixes. Though he couldn’t post a big score in the final match, he still led the series in runs, sixes, and strike rate.
Overall, Vaibhav amassed 355 runs with 29 sixes and 30 fours in five innings at an average of 71 and an impressive strike rate of 174.01 — the only batsman to cross 350 runs in the series.
