Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history in the Vijay Hazare Trophy with a stunning innings. You saw the 14 year old opener from Bihar smash 190 runs off just 84 balls against Arunachal Pradesh, leaving bowlers with no answers.
Youngest List A centurion
At 14 years and 272 days, you are now looking at the youngest player to score a century in men’s List A cricket. He reached his hundred in only 36 balls, hitting 15 sixes and 16 fours with complete authority.
Among the fastest by Indians
This hundred is also the second fastest by an Indian in List A cricket. Only Anmolpreet Singh has gone quicker, reaching the milestone in 35 balls for Punjab against the same opposition earlier this year.
Strong response after setback
Just three days earlier, you saw Suryavanshi struggle in the Under 19 Asia Cup final against Pakistan. This innings showed his mental strength, as he responded with fearless batting and complete focus.
Global context of the feat
Worldwide, the fastest List A centuries belong to Jake Fraser McGurk and AB de Villiers. While those records stand, you are now witnessing the youngest ever centurion in this format.
Bihar’s bold call pays off
Bihar chose to bat first after winning the toss. That decision worked perfectly for you to watch, as Suryavanshi’s explosive knock set the tone and turned the match firmly in Bihar’s favour.
