The 14-year-old, who lit up IPL with his fearless big hitting for Rajasthan Royals this year, smashed 13 fours and 10 sixes as India U-19 scored 363/9 in their 50 overs.
Suryavanshi, in the course of his blockbuster innings, broke the record for the quickest Youth ODI century held by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam, who had reached the milestone in 53 deliveries, also against England, back in 2013. The Bihar youngster brought up his 100 in 52 balls.
Before Suryavanshi, Raj Angad Bawa's 69-ball hundred against Uganda at the U-19 World Cup in 2022 was the fastest century by an Indian in Youth one-dayers.
Suryavanshi, 14 years and 100 days, went past Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto's record to become the youngest to hit a Youth ODI century. Shanto was 14 years and 241 days.
Earlier, put in to bat after England skipper Thomas Rew won the toss, India lost skipper Ayush Mhatre in the fourth over, but the left-handed duo of Suryavanshi and Vihaan Malhotra dug in. Malhotra scored a fine 121-ball 129 and the two raised 219 runs in 24 overs. Only two other batters managed to reach double figures.
England medium pacer Jack Home was the standout bowler, picking four wickets for 63 runs in his eight overs while Sebastian Morgan snared three.
England's opening pair BJ Dawkins (67) and Joseph Moores (52) went about the chase of 364 gamely, putting up 104 runs inside 15 overs. Rocky Flintoff played a solid hand, scoring a fine 91-ball 107. He received little support from the rest of the batters as India kept striking at regular intervals. Leg-spinner Naman Pushpak took three wickets while medium pacer RS Ambrish sent back two batters, including Flintoff.
Brief Scores: India U-19 363/9 in 50 overs (V Suryavanshi 143, V Malhotra 129; J Home 4/63, S Morgan 3/54) vs England U-19 308 in 45.3 overs. (R Flintoff 107, BJ Dawkins 67; N Pushpak 3/63). India U-19 won by 55 runs.

'Vaibhav Suryavanshi Flooded With Endorsement Offers': Ravi Shastri Reveals Rahul Dravid's Big Role

Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri revealed that young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been 'flooded with endorsement offers'. Suryavanshi impressed everyone by slamming 143 off just 78 deliveries during the fourth Youth ODI against England U-19. Shastri, who was on commentary during the second Test match between India and England, also said that Rahul Dravid, who is the head coach of Rajasthan Royals, has been a mentor to Vaibhav and has taken upon himself to guide the youngster. "In fact, I was speaking to Kumar Sangakkara at the back of the box yesterday and he said he's been flooded with endorsement offers already, but how he's handling it is very important," Shastri said. "He has got a good bloke in Rahul Dravid there. He's a mentor, a coach. He is keeping him on the ground. My word, what a talent at 14." "That's why at that age it's essential. You have always found talent in India, from the ages of 16, 17, and 18. Tendulkar set the benchmark. But it's where they are at 23 and 24 that's important. A lot of them disappear; hence, handling is very important," he added. Suryavanshi has set his next big target — scoring a double century in Youth ODIs — after a record-breaking knock against England U19 in the fourth Youth ODI. The 14-year-old smashed a sensational 143, bringing up his century in just 52 balls — the fastest-ever hundred by any batter in Youth ODIs. In a video shared by BCCI on social media, Vaibhav opened up about his innings and revealed his next goal. Inspired by India captain Shubman Gill 's hunger for runs, Vaibhav said: "I got a lot of inspiration from him because I watched his game. Even after scoring 100 and 200 runs, he kept playing and kept taking the team forward. 'I had in mind that I could have played longer because I had a lot of time left. There were 20 overs still remaining. There was one shot where I didn't give my 100% and that's why I got out. I will try to play for a long time like him." Reflecting on his dismissal, Vaibhav expressed regret at missing out on a bigger score: "I feel bad that I got out on 143 in the Under-19 match. I had plenty of time but one shot where I didn't give my 100% ended my innings."
