Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues dream run with 39-ball fifty in youth test against England

His aggressive knock in the second innings has pushed England 310 runs behind at the stroke of lunch on Day 4.

The 14-year-old prodigy, who didn’t score big in the first innings of the match despite India’s imposing total of 540, made amends in style as he counter-attacked the English bowling with flair and authority.

This performance adds to what has already been a spectacular month for Suryavanshi. Just ten days ago, he made headlines by smashing the fastest-known century in youth ODI history — a breathtaking 52-ball ton during his 143 off 78 balls in the fourth Youth ODI against England in Worcester.

Hailing from Bihar, Suryavanshi has captured the cricketing world’s attention with his fearless and explosive batting. His breakthrough came earlier this year in the 2025 Indian Premier League, where he burst onto the scene with a first-ball six and finished the season with 252 runs at a staggering strike rate of 206.55. His standout moment came with a blistering 101 off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans — the second-fastest century in IPL history.

His U19 form has been just as prolific, with scores of 48 off 19, 45 off 34, and 86 off 31 in his first three games for India U19, marking him as a talent well beyond his years.

As India looks to close out a win in the Youth Test, all eyes remain on Suryavanshi, who continues to make cricketing history — one boundary at a time.
