VaibhavSuryavanshi turns heads with his spellbinding performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy

The 14-year-old, however, missed out on the fastest double century after the world record of 36 balls 100.

VaibhavSuryavanshi, 14, the youngest and brightest star in the Under-19 Indian cricket team, has made waves in a short time. Recently, the young cricketing star scored a List A century in just 36 balls against Arunachal Pradesh, making it the second-fastest in Indian cricket history.

VaibhavSuryavanshi scored 36 off 100 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The 14-year-old smashed a List A 100 in just 36 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The match was held at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi. Suryavanshi’s 36-ball century is now the second fastest by an Indian in List A history, and it comes in Bihar’s Plate Group opener. Days after India’s defeat in the U19 Asia Cup Finals against Pakistan, the young cricketer has returned with a bang. Hitting a hundred in just 36 deliveries isn’t just quick, it is effectively a format-blender. It means one is effectively scoring at a T20 rate while playing a 50-over innings.

VaibhavSuryavanshi creates history with the second-fastest hundred.

The Indian benchmark for List A’s fastest century is currently 35 balls, set by Punjab’s Anmolpreet Singh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season. Suryavanshi’s 36 now slots right behind that. It also sits among the quickest List A tons overall, a list topped by Jake Fraser-McGurk (29) and Ab de Villiers (31). Although the record for the youngest List A centurion now belongs to Suryavanshi. He played a stunning knock, scoring 190 runs off just 84 deliveries. His brutality knew no bounds as he hit 16 fours and 15 sixes while bringing up the runs. He was already en route to make the fastest ever double hundred by a batter in List A cricket; however, the record belongs to Chad Bowes, who scored his double hundred in just 103 deliveries. The VHT record stays with Narayan Jagadeesan, who scored his double hundred in 114 deliveries against Arunachal Pradesh in 2022.

During the knock, he bettered AB de Villiers’ test 150 in List A cricket by 10 deliveries. Also, 15 sixes is now the most by an Indian in this format of the game.
