Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again showed why he is considered one of India’s brightest young talents by playing a brilliant inning of 94 runs in just 29 balls against Sri Lanka A in the final of the Tri-Nation Series. The 15-year-old hit 10 fours and 8 sixes at an incredible pace of 324.14 and missed the century by 6 runs. Although this innings is one of the most destructive innings he has ever played for India A in the 50-over format, it was not the highest-scoring innings of his young career.After being elected to field first by Sri Lanka A, the 15-year-old opening batsman took on the Sri Lankan bowlers fiercely and brought up his half-century in just 11 balls, hitting a brilliant sequence of 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 0, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6 off his first 11 balls. In doing so, Suryavanshi broke the previous world record of a half-century in 12 balls set by Sri Lanka’s Kaushalya Weeraratne in 2005. But this was his second best innings in terms of strike rate. The best chance came in November 2025, when at the age of just 14 years and 232 days, the left-handed opening batsman rewrote the record books with a remarkable inning of 144 runs off 42 balls against UAE in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament.In that T20 match, he scored runs at a tremendous strike rate of 342.86 and hit 11 fours and 15 sixes. He completed his century in just 32 balls, making it the joint-third fastest T20 century by an Indian batsman along with Rishabh Pant, who scored a century in 32 balls for Delhi in the SMAT. Suryavanshi gave India A a mammoth score of 297/4 in 20 overs and played a key role in giving the team an emphatic 148-run win. However, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored the most runs for Team India in the U19-final match against England in 2026. Vaibhav destroyed the England bowling attack with the help of 15 fours and 15 sixes and scored 175 runs in just 80 balls at a strike rate of 218.75 and took India to a record score of 411/9 in the final.
