India’s teen batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continued his rapid rise in professional career as he broke Unmukt Chand’s record during the second youth ODI between India Under-19 and Australia Under-19. Suryavanshi is turning heads with his performances on maiden tour to Australia as he slammed his maiden half century in the country.
The 14-year-old was at his aggressive best during his brilliant innings of 70 (68). Suryavanshi clobbered five fours and six sixes during his stay at the crease as India A scored 300 after being put in to bat first. During his knock, he also registered the most sixes by a batter in Youth ODIs breaking former India cricketer Unmukt Chand’s record.
Suryavanshi now has 41 maximums to his name in Youth ODIs as he surpassed Chand’s tally of 38 sixes. Earlier, he also scored 38 (22) in the first ODI as India chased down the 226-run target in 30.3 overs.
Suryavanshi has been on a prolific run this year as he also had a brilliant tour to England. He finished as the highest run scorer of the five-match series, scoring 355 runs from five innings at an average of 71 with one century and a half-century to his name.
He started the series with two 40-plus scores and later slammed a breathtaking 86 (31) in the third match. The southpaw further followed it up with another mind-boggling innings of 143 (78) in the fourth match, having hit 13 fours and ten sixes. He registered a scintillating 52-ball century — the fastest ever in Youth ODIs.
Suryavanshi rose to the limelight in the IPL 2025 as he took the tournament by storm by smashing his very first delivery in the tournament for a six. He further scored a breathtaking century off just 35 deliveries, the fastest by an Indian in the tournament’s history.
Suryavanshi finished the season with 252 runs from seven innings at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 206.55 with one century and one fifty to his name. The 14-year-old was adjudged ‘Super striker of the season’ for his massive strike rate of 206.55.
