Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, Blasts 32-Ball T20 Hundred as India A Rout UAE

The 14-year-old’s 32-ball hundred for India A in Doha makes him the youngest men’s national representative centurion.

Overview

  • He hammered 144 off 42 balls with 15 sixes and 11 fours before falling in the 13th over.
  • India A posted 297/4, powered by captain Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 83 off 32, then restricted UAE to 149/7 to win by 148 runs.
  • He became the first India A batter to score a T20 century and achieved the feat at 14 years and 232 days.
  • His 32-ball century equals Rishabh Pant for Indians and trails only the 28-ball tons by Urvil Patel and Abhishek Sharma.
  • He is now the only player with two T20 hundreds in 35 balls or fewer, while calls to fast-track him to the senior team remain opinion and not an official move.
