  "account": "New Zealand's fast bowler Jacob Duffy has revealed that his team has thoroughly researched India's teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for an upcoming five-match Twenty20 series. The 15-year-old Sooryavanshi has made a significant impact in world cricket, breaking numerous records and becoming the youngest Indian to play men's international T20 cricket. Debuted in England in July, Sooryavanshi has already scored an impressive half-century against Zimbabwe and won the Asian Games gold medal. While the Indian cricket sensation is known for his power-hitting and consistent strike-rate of 250, Duffy believes the conditions in New Zealand will pose a challenge for the young cricketer. The New Zealand team has studied Sooryavanshi's playing style and will devise plans to exploit his weaknesses during the series.",
