Watch: 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi breathes fire with bat; video goes viral
Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Screengrabs) NEW DELHI: India's cricketing future appears to be in safe and sensational hands. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old prodigy from Bihar and Rajasthan Royals ' latest find, has once again captured national attention after smashing a jaw-dropping 190 off just 90 balls in a practice match at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The video of his explosive knock, recorded during an India Under-19 team camp, has since gone viral, sending social media into a frenzy. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Watch: This latest innings adds to the rapidly growing legend of Suryavanshi, who has already rewritten the record books in his debut IPL season. Poll Do you think Vaibhav Suryavanshi will become a future star in international cricket? Yes, absolutely! Maybe, if he keeps performing. No, it's too early to tell. This year, the teenager became the youngest-ever centurion in men's T20 cricket when he hammered 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, a blistering knock that included the second-fastest century in IPL history, off just 35 deliveries. Suryavanshi made his IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants under unexpected circumstances, stepping in for the injured Sanju Samson. He made an immediate impact, smashing his very first ball, bowled by Shardul Thakur, for six, and finishing with a quickfire 34 off 20 balls. By the end of the season, he had tallied 252 runs in seven matches, cementing his place as one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket. 'Nitish Kumar is a guy who can bowl that magic ball': India bowling coach Morne Morkel His IPL journey began in unprecedented fashion when, at just 13 years old, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore during the 2025 auction, making him the youngest player ever to sign an IPL contract. But Suryavanshi's brilliance isn't limited to T20s. He notched a 58-ball century in a four-day match against Australia U-19, played a key role in India's run to the final of the 2024 ACC U-19 Asia Cup, and famously scored an unbeaten 332 in the Randhir Verma Tournament, a remarkable triple-century in junior cricket.

According to several media reports, the left-handed batter recently featured in a practice match, and in that he scored 190 runs from just 90 balls. Well, CricketNext could not independently verify the claims about his score.

On April 28, Suryavanshi took the field against the Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and scored 101 runs from just 38 balls. He crossed the 100-run mark in just 35 balls in that fixture, and it helped him become the youngest batter in history to score a century in T20 cricket and also break the record of scoring the fastest IPL century by an Indian batter. His super show with the bat, which included 11 sixes, helped RR chase down the target of 210 runs in just 15.5 overs. First Published: June 12, 2025, 15:19 IST

'Abhimanyu Easwaran at no. 3, no place for Shardul Thakur': Ex-India coach predicts India's playing XI vs England
India bowler Shardul Thakur (Photo by) NEW DELHI: As Team India gears up for their challenging five-Test series against England, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has weighed in with his predicted playing XI, and it's raised a few eyebrows. Most notably, Bangar sees no place for seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, preferring rising star Nitish Kumar Reddy instead. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "My team is Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran at No. 3, Shubman Gill at No. 4, Rishabh Pant at No. 5, Karun Nair at No. 6, Nitish Kumar Reddy at No. 7, Kuldeep Yadav at No. 8, and then three seamers: Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah," Bangar told JioHotstar. He also clarified his reasoning for picking Nitish Reddy: "I see Nitish as a batter who can bowl. I can't see him as a bowler who can bat. However, Nitish starts in my team ahead of Shardul. Shardul doesn't play in my first XI. Nitish Reddy will play first." Poll Do you agree with Sanjay Bangar's decision to include Nitish Kumar Reddy over Shardul Thakur in the playing XI? Yes, it's a smart choice No, Shardul should play Undecided I don't follow cricket India arrived in England on June 7 and immediately began rigorous training ahead of the first Test at Headingley, which begins June 20. The series marks the beginning of the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship cycle and also symbolises a new chapter for Indian cricket following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket. 'Nitish Kumar is a guy who can bowl that magic ball': India bowling coach Morne Morkel Under Shubman Gill's captaincy and with Rishabh Pant returning as vice-captain and wicketkeeper, India is looking to win their first Test series in England since 2007. The squad includes both seasoned names and fresh faces, with high hopes pinned on players like Abhimanyu Easwaran and Karun Nair to stabilise the middle order. With tough conditions awaiting in English venues like Lord's, Edgbaston, and Old Trafford, India's team selection will be under close scrutiny — and Bangar's predicted XI already gives a glimpse of the possible transition ahead. India Squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.
