New Delhi: India’s sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi scripted history on Saturday by smashing the fastest century in youth ODIs. He achieved the landmark in the fourth Youth ODI against England in Worcester on July 5.
Adding yet another feather to his cap, Suryavanshi reached to his remarkable hundred in just 52 deliveries and went on the way to end up scoring 143 useful runs for his side in just 78 balls. The 14-year-old’s majestic ton has earned him the title of the fastest century getter in the format.
His sensational innings comprised 13 boundaries and 10 massive sixes as he wrecked havoc on the English side helping India set up a big total in the 50-over game. With this milestone, Suryavanshi surpassed the record of Sarfaraz Khan who had achieved the ton at 15 years in an U-19 match in 2013.
Globally, the rising Indian sensation overtook Najmul Hossain Shanto’s record of scoring a ton at 14 years and 241 days.
