After his heroics in the Asia Cup Rising Stars, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has continued to break records. On Tuesday, the 14-year-old slammed yet another century, his first for Bihar against Maharashtra. The Rajasthan Royals starlet thus became the youngest to score a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy's history.
Batting first against Maharashtra, Suryavanshi looked in stellar form right from the get go. Often guilty of throwing away after an opening burst, the 14-year-old looked determined to hang in there and play the long innings. After Bihar were reduced to 31/2, Suryavanshi took onus on himself to do the bulk of the scoring.
He cracked 7 fours and 7 sixes in his 61-ball stay, cracking a stellar 108 not out. The rest of the Bihar line up could only muster 62 in the other half of the innings, with 6 more extras taking the score to 176.
At 14, he becomes the youngest to score a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It is his 3rd t20 century of 2025, adding to his efforts in the IPL and the Rising Stars Asia Cup. He is the youngest in world cricket to hit 3 t20 centuries, continuing his meteoric rise at such a young age.
The teenage batter, who scored low totals of 14, 13, and 5, scored his first fifty of the tournament off 34 balls before reaching the record-breaking three-figure score. This was Suryavanshi's third century in just his 16th professional T20 match. Furthermore, it is the slowest century he has scored, reaching three figures in 58 ballEarlier this year, Surayvanshi made history as the youngest-ever IPL player at just 14 years and 23 days, debuting against the Lucknow Super Giants before stunning everyone nine days later by becoming the youngest centurion in the league’s history. His explosive 35-ball 100 against the Gujarat Titans was the fastest IPL century by an Indian and the second-fastest overall, only behind Chris Gayle.
His blistering 143 in the fourth match of the series was the fastest century ever in U19 men’s ODIs and made him the youngest player to achieve the feat in the format’s history.
The explosive southpaw also slammed a ton against the Australia U19 team in Brisbane in a Youth Test match last month. His most recent jaw-dropping innings came in the Rising Stars Asia Cup, where he scored 144 off 42 balls for India A against UAE, smashing 11 fours and 15 sixes.
His 32-ball hundred made him the youngest man to score a century for any national representative side at senior level, breaking a two-decade-old record.
