Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi said he was inspired to watch Shubman Gill carrying on nonchalantly after making a hundred, and wants to emulate the Indian Test skipper in future matches.

Suryavanshi made a sparkling 143 off just 78 balls to become the fastest and youngest batter to make a hundred in Youth ODIs during India U-19's fourth match against England on Saturday at Worcester.

"I got a lot of inspiration from him [Gill] because I saw the game. After making 100 and 200, he didn't leave the game and took the team ahead," Suryavanshi said in a video posted by BCCI on ‘X'.

The 14-year-old was referring to Gill's twin centuries in the ongoing Birmingham Test where he made 269 and 161. The India U-19 squad was at Edgbaston, watching Gill's construction of that epic double hundred. "I will try to make 200 in the next match. Next time, I will try to play full fifty overs. The more I make runs, the better it will be for my team," Suryavanshi said.
