Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes youngest fastest centurion in Youth ODIs

Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Impressive Vaibhav Suryavanshi continued to push his stocks up, smashing the fastest Youth ODI hundred to guide India Under-19 to a mammoth 363-9 against their English counterparts in the fourth match here on Saturday.

Suryavanshi proved his mettle in the 50-over version while making 143 off just 78 balls at a whopping strike-rate of 183, including 13 fours and 10 sixes. Suryavanshi broke the record for the quickest Youth ODI century held by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam, who had reached the milestone in 53 deliveries, also against England, back in 2013.

The 14-year-old left-hander brought up his 100 in just 52 balls, and it also made him the youngster batter to cross the milestone in youth cricket. Suryavanshi is 14 years and 100 days when he made his hundred, going past Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto who did it when he was 14 years and 241 days.
