This remarkable feat broke the previous fastest century record of 53 balls held by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam since 2013.
Not only did Vaibhav Suryavanshi break the record for the fastest century in Youth ODIs, but he also became the youngest-ever centurion in Youth ODI cricket, achieving this at the age of 14 years. This made him the youngest Indian to score a Youth ODI hundred, surpassing Sarfaraz Khan who had made a century at 15 years and 338 days in 2013. He also overtook Bangladesh’s Najmul Hossain Shanto, who held the global youngest centurion record at 14 years and 241 days.
Moreover, this century also marked the fastest century by an Indian in Youth ODIs, breaking Raj Angad Bawa’s previous record of a 69-ball hundred in the 2022 U-19 World Cup.
Vaibhav’s aggressive and fearless batting style was first noticed in the IPL, where he struck an explosive 35-ball century for Rajasthan Royals, making him the youngest IPL centurion as well.
