Indian cricket witnessed a remarkable moment as teenage batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name into the record books with a stunning performance in domestic one-day cricket. At just 14 years of age, the young prodigy delivered a knock that has drawn attention across the cricketing world.
Representing Bihar in a Plate League match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26, Suryavanshi produced an innings that combined fearlessness with remarkable maturity. Facing Arunachal Pradesh in Ranchi, the left-hander dominated the bowling attack from the very start.
Youngest Century in Men’s List A Cricket
Suryavanshi reached his maiden senior one-day hundred in extraordinary fashion, becoming the youngest player ever to score a century in men’s List A cricket. The milestone came in only his seventh appearance at this level, underlining how quickly he has adapted to senior competition.
What made the innings even more special was the speed at which it unfolded. The youngster raced to his century in just 36 deliveries, setting the tone for an unforgettable day.
Fastest 150 in List A History
After crossing three figures, Suryavanshi showed no signs of slowing down. He went on to register the fastest 150 ever recorded in men’s List A cricket, reaching the landmark in only 59 balls. His innings eventually came to an end at 190, a breathtaking effort that featured a flurry of boundaries and towering sixes.
The knock showcased his clean striking, strong base, and ability to dominate both pace and spin — traits rarely seen at such a young age.
Impressive Numbers at Youth Level

Across youth one-day matches, he boasts an average above 50 along with an exceptional strike rate that reflects his attacking mindset.
His performances in youth tournaments have regularly placed him among the top run-scorers, with multiple centuries and half-centuries already to his name.
Impact in T20 Cricket
The teenager has also made waves in the shortest format. Earlier this year, he produced one of the fastest centuries by an Indian in men’s T20 cricket during an international youth tournament. That innings further strengthened his reputation as a natural stroke-maker capable of changing games rapidly.
In domestic T20 competitions, he became the youngest player to score a century, once again highlighting his ability to handle pressure situations.
Breakthrough Year for a Rising Star
The year 2025 has been a defining chapter in Suryavanshi’s career. From making headlines at the IPL auction as the youngest-ever selection to delivering match-winning performances at the highest level, his journey has progressed at a remarkable pace.
Featuring in the IPL, he made an immediate impact with his fearless batting, scoring runs at an impressive strike rate and proving he belongs on the biggest stage.
Focus on the Under-19 World Cup
With a busy schedule ahead, Suryavanshi is expected to represent India in the upcoming Under-19 World Cup. Before the tournament, he will join the national youth squad for preparatory camps aimed at fine-tuning both fitness and skills.
Given his recent form, expectations will be high, but the young batter has already shown that he thrives when the spotlight is brightest.
A Name to Watch in Indian Cricket
