Neither Vaibhav Suryavanshi nor captain Ayush Mhatre… The first century for India in the Under-19 World Cup 2026 was not scored by these star batsmen, but by the team's vice-captain and middle-order batsman Vihaan Malhotra. From the Indian team, which has been performing consistently well in the tournament, not a single batsman could score a century in the league stage, but in the very first match of the Super Six round, vice-captain Vihaan ended the wait by scoring a brilliant century. Vihaan played an unbeaten inning of 107 runs against host Zimbabwe, on the basis of which Team India scored a strong score of 348 runs.
