LONDON: Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed the record for the fastest hundred in Men’s Youth ODIs during the fourth game of a five-match series between England U-19 and India U-19 in Worcester on Saturday.
Suryavanshi reached his century off 52 balls to break the previous record of 53 balls, held by Pakistan’s Kamram Ghulam. The left-hander struck 10 fours and seven sixes during his fiery knock.
He was eventually dismissed for 143 off 78 balls, which included 13 fours and 10 sixes.
Last year, the 14-year-old had stuck the second-fastest hundred in Men’s Youth Tests against Australia U-19 in Chennai. He had reached the three-figure mark off just 56 balls to sit behind only Moeen Ali of England, who had smashed 56-ball ton back in 2005.
Suryavanshi has been in scorching form in the ongoing five-match Youth ODI series against England. In the previous game, he blitzed his way to a 20-ball half-century—the second-fastest in Youth ODIs by an Indian. He was eventually dismissed for 86 off 31 balls as India registered a comfortable four-wicket win to take a 2-1 series lead. In the first two matches of the series, he had scores of 48 and 45.
