During his knock, he surpassed former India cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina in having the best strike rate in a fastest fifty-plus total for India.
Yuvraj had scored a 25-ball 58 with a strike rate of 232 against Australia U-19 in 2000. Raina had smoked a 38-ball 90 with a staggering strike rate of 236.84 against Scotland U-19 in 2004.
Vaibhav, who has scored at the rate of 277.41, is second on the list. The top position is held by India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who had scored a 37-ball 78 against Nepal U-19 in 2016 with an impressive strike rate of 325.
What records can Vaibhav Suryavanshi break?
If in the next matches Vaibhav Suryavanshi manages to hit a century, he would become the youngest Indian to score a Youth ODI hundred.
Sarfaraz Khan is currently the youngest, having reached three figures aged 15 years and 338 days against South Africa U-19 in 2013.
Poll
Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi score a century in the upcoming matches?
Yes, definitely! No, not likely.
Suryavanshi will also become the youngest centurion in Youth ODIs in the world if he manages to reach the three-figure mark. Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto is the youngest to score a Youth ODI ton, reaching the landmark aged 14 years and 241 days against Sri Lanka U-19 in 2013.
The fastest Youth ODI century ever was hit by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam, who slammed a 53-ball century against England U-19 in 2013.
For India, Raj Angad Bawa has hit the quickest century in Youth ODIs; the all-rounder smoked a 69-ball century against Uganda in the 2022 U-19 World Cup, which India went on to win.

Decathlon targets India sourcing worth $3 billion by 2030
Decathlon, a French sports retailer brand, on Tuesday (July 29, 2025), said it has a strategic target to scale its local sourcing from India to $3 billion by 2030. Currently, India accounts for 8% of Decathlon's global sourcing quantities, with a goal to scale this to 15% by 2030, according to the company. This growth would be driven by a focused push in high-potential categories such as footwear, fitness equipment, and technical textiles — designed to meet the evolving demands of both Indian consumers and global markets, said Decathlon whose operations turned 25 years in India. Addressing a media conference, Sankar Chatterjee, chief executive officer, Decathlon India, said, over the last 25 years, Decathlon's production journey in India has been the backbone of the brand's success in the country. Over 70% of the quantities sold by Decathlon in India in 2025 will be made in India. This figure is expected to rise to 90% by 2030, reinforcing the brand's focus on its local sourcing strategy. The brand's local production ecosystem includes a Design Centre, which is supported by 113 manufacturing sites, 83 suppliers, and 7 production offices across India. 'Today, we're able to offer a diverse and growing portfolio of categories, made in India that meet the evolving needs of Indian sport users,'' he said, adding, as the brand continued to strengthen its footprint across offline and omni-channel platforms, production excellence remained at the heart of Decathlon's strategy. As part of its growth journey, Decathlon was working to create more than 3,00,000 new direct and indirect jobs in the country across its production ecosystem. The brand would also deepen its focus on culturally rooted sports like yoga and cricket, with the latter entirely conceptualised and manufactured in India. Decathlon currently operates 132 stores across 55 cities in India and it plans to expand its retail footprint to over 90 cities by 2030.

DP World India championship
The $4 million DP World India championship will be the biggest golf event in the country and Raj Khosla, president, Delhi Golf Club (DGC), assured it would be 'the best'. Khosla was delighted that multiple Major champion Rory McIlroy and company would compete in the heart of Delhi amidst the historic setting of heritage, when the event is staged from October 16 to 19. 'It is not just the club, but it is the country's pride at stake. Already, experts have made several visits from Europe to ensure that every aspect is addressed, particularly the preparation of the grass. They want it to be at its pristine best during the event and are advising us on everything leading up to the event. It is technology and knowledge transfer for us,' said Khosla as he took time to discuss golf from his hectic schedule as the founder and Managing Director of MyMoneyMantra.. Stressing that logistics were being worked out, as to whether to have tickets, or allow free entry for all, and decide how many fans can be at the venue at a time, ensuring safety and security for all, Khosla said Indian golf would benefit in a big way from the event. Assuring that golf in the country had evolved nicely over the years, Khosla said that the club was doing its bit in every way, supporting junior players, grooming talent and helping the under-privileged to play the game. He was particularly appreciative of the splendid work done by Arjuna awardee Amit Luthra, through his Foundation, in guiding youngsters from the rural areas to play golf. 'You don't have to be a member of the club to play golf. You just pay the green fee, and you can play,' said Khosla, even as he pointed out that the club had supported the young Shubham Jaglan's golf to the extent of helping him get his education in USA. 'We support women's golf, we give mini kits to the kids. You keep doing all the right things to nurture the ecosystem, and you will have a champion emerge,' he said. Indian golf may not have many exciting talent, and Khosla stressed that the golfing community just needs to stay focused on the process and the results would emerge. 'We are a step or two behind the world, in terms of using technology for training. There is so much of analysis available for improvement and correction of the flow of the swing. We will get there soon,' he said. Appreciating the government for the whole hearted support for sports, the DGC president insisted that the big event in October would inspire the Indian golf community to get to the next level in every way.
