Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Record-Breaking Assault: 52-Ball Century Cements Rising Stardom

India U19’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered another unforgettable performance, hammering a breathtaking 52-ball hundred against England U19 in the fourth Youth ODI at Worcester on Saturday.

Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, lit up the contest with a stunning innings laced with 13 boundaries and 10 towering sixes, scoring at a strike rate exceeding 184. His knock powered India to 233/2 in only 27.1 overs after England opted to bowl first.

Initially watchful, Suryavanshi accelerated spectacularly after settling in, repeatedly launching England’s bowlers into the stands. Commentators compared the youngster’s destructive hitting to “Yuvraj Singh on steroids,” as he raced to his century amid rapturous applause.

The left-handed opener shared a blistering partnership with Vihaan Malhotra, who supported him with an unbeaten 219. This latest innings follows Suryavanshi’s record-breaking exploits earlier in the series, where he smashed 86 off 31 balls and set a new India U19 record for most sixes in a Youth ODI innings.

Youngest Player with Fastest Century in IPL

Suryavanshi has been in stunning form all year, including a trailblazing IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals, where he became the youngest centurion in T20 history with a 38-ball hundred.

With the series firmly in India’s grasp and a star rising rapidly, Suryavanshi’s incredible performances have made him the talk of world cricket.
