India’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi set a colossal world record with his maiden U19 World Cup century in only 55 balls in the final against England U-19, bringing up his 100th six in the format at the Harare Sports Club on Friday.
Opening the batting for India as they aim to clinch a record-extending sixth title, Sooryavanshi continued his menacing form by racking up another rapid half-century in only 32 balls. Pairing up with his captain, Ayush Mhatre, the left-handed Sooryavanshi unfurled his big shots gradually and soon had smashed five sixes by the time he had reached 70 in only 40 deliveries.

With a thunderous slog over down the ground, his fifth maximum, the 14-year-old Sooryavanshi became the first batter in Under-19 ODI cricket to record 100 sixes. Staggeringly, only one other batter has managed more than 50 sixes in Youth ODIs – Bangladesh’s Zawad Abrar with 55.
