13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes fastest hundred for India in U19 Tests, second quickest over
Chennai: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old left-handed opener, made history on Tuesday by scoring the fastest century in U19 Tests for India during the ongoing youth Test match against Australia.
Batting in the first innings for India at M.A. Chidambaram stadium, Vaibhav got to his hundred in only 58 deliveries before being run out for 104. His record-making innings constituted 14 fours and 4 sixes.
The 13-year-old prodigy's 58-ball hundred is only behind former England all-rounder Moeen Ali, who hit a 56-ball hundred for England U19 in 2005.
Vaibhav made headlines last year when he became the youngest debutant in Ranji Trophy history, playing at the age of 12 for Bihar, surpassing the record held by Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh.
