In the U-19 World Cup final against England, Team India's Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played a stunning knock of 175 runs off just 80 deliveries. His knock was laced with 15 boundaries and the same number of maximums
This is also the highest score in the final of the U-19 WC final, outdoing former Indian U19 captain Unmukt Chand, who had hit 112* against Australia in 2012. His century came in just 53 balls
After Unmukt and Manjot Kalra (unbeaten 101 runs against Australia in 2018), Sooryavanshi is the third Indian to smash a U19 WC final century. He is also the sixth overall player to achieve this feat
The 14-year-old cricketer outclassed Australian Michael Hill's count of 12 sixes against Namibia in the 2008 U19 WC to register the most sixes in a U19 WC innings
