Vaibhav Suryavanshi. New Delhi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also in top shape with India U19 busy playing an ODI series against the hosts England U19 players. Having broken the quickfire-knock of 48 and 45 in the respective first and second game, Suryavanshi rose to the occasion against the third ODI game at Northampton with a scorching 86 runs off 31 balls. He brought up his half-century in the 20 th delivery, becoming the second-fastest Indian U-19 batsman to achieve this feat. It remains the record of Rishabh Pant who scored a fifty of 18 balls against Nepal in 2016. Vaibhav Suryavanshi's innings included nine sixes and six fours. Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes back to back sixes! 🥶🔥 — Sports Culture (@SportsCulture24) July 2, 2025 Suryavansi's strong performance Suryavanshi, who narrowly missed fifties in his last two games as he was dismissed in the 40s, made the breakthrough performance to the game and scored a career-defining knock. He ripped apart the England bowling attack scoring 86 of only 31 balls as India won the game with 4 wickets and 34.3 overs in hand chasing the target of 268/6. His explosive knocks comprised of six boundaries and nine humongous sixes, the second most sixes in an U-19 ODI by an Indian batter, beating the previous record of eight sixes, set by Mandeep Singh. India experienced a hiccup in the middle overs as they collapsed to 199/ 6 by the 24 th over. But a late unbeaten cameo of 43 runs off 42 balls by bowling all-rounder Kanishk Chouhan, who had already taken 3 wickets at the cost of 30 runs, turned it around on its head. He together with RS Ambrish all 31 not out) put on a match-winning 75-run partnership to get India over the line. Suryavanshi shredded all bowlers that faced him and his motive could not have been clearer. He dominated initially, blasted right-arm pacer Sebastian Morgan with two sixes in the third over.

Watch: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Misses Rishabh Pant's Record By A Whisker, Slams 20-Ball 50 In India vs England U19 ODI
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on a roll in England where India U19 are currently playing an ODI series against England U19. After quickfire 48 and 45 in the first two ODIS, Suryavanshi went a notch higher in the third ODI in Northampton scoring a 31-ball 86 ball. Suryavanshi reached the 50-run mark in just 20 balls to become the second fastest Indian U19 batter to score a half-century. Rishabh Pant is the fastest India U19 batter to score a half-century - an 18-ball fifty against Nepal in 2016. Suryavanshi's innings included nine sixes and six fours. Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes back to back sixes! — Sports Culture (@SportsCulture24) July 2, 2025 Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Explosive Knock Lights Up the Game -86 runs off just 32 balls -6 fours & 9 sixes -SR: 277 Vaibhav is playing T20 in One day. — Varun Giri (@Varungiri0) July 2, 2025 The 14-year-old Suryavanshi, who had come close to striking half-centuries in the previous two games before getting dismissed in his 40s, finally made his innings count as he clobbered the home team bowling on way to 86 off just 31 deliveries as India chased down England's 268/6 in 34.3 overs. Suryavanshi's innings was studded with six boundaries and nine maximums. In fact, nine sixes by Suryavanshi is the highest number of maximums hit by an Indian batter in an U-19 ODI eclipsing the previous record of eight sixes by Mandeep Singh. India suffered a slump in the middle overs with the team reduced to 199 for 6 in the 24th over before bowling all-rounder Kanishk Chouhan (3/30), who had taken three England wickets earlier, hit an unbeaten 43 (42 balls) and shared an unbroken 75-run stand with RS Ambrish (31 not out) guided the team to victory. Suryavanshi ravaged every single bowler that bowled to him and made his intentions clear when he smacked right-arm pacer Sebastian Morgan for two consecutive sixes in the third over. Morgan came in for some harsh punishment again in his subsequent over when he was hit two more sixes and a boundary by the 14-year-old batting sensation, who has been on a roll since showing his precocious talent in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals. England left-arm pacer James Minto bore the brunt of Raghuvanshi's fury in the sixth over, going for 23 runs, which included three sixes and a boundary. When Suryavanshi was finally dismissed, caught by Joseph Moores off right-arm pacer Alexander Wade, India had wiped off 111 runs from the target in only the eighth over. Raghuvanshi's departure saw India struggle a bit in the middle overs before Kanishk and Ambrish played with caution to guide the team home with 33 balls to spare. Earlier, England skipper Thomas Rew smashed an unbeaten 76 (44 balls) while opener Ben Dawkins struck form with a fine 62 as the hosts scored a competitive 268 for 6 after the match was delayed due to a wet outfield. Dawkins, a right-handed batter, following two successive below-par scores, gave England the start they needed after they were put into bat by the visitors on an overcast day. Dawkins and his left-handed opening partner Isaac Mohammed (41 off 43 balls) displayed immense calm playing the moving ball as they stitched together a 78-run partnership at the top to give the hosts the start they needed. Isaac's dismissal did not slow down the flow of runs as the next batter in Ben Mayes played an almost run-a-ball innings scoring 31 (32) to guide England to 133/2 by the 22nd over. The 55-run partnership for the second wicket between Dawkins and Mayes really gave the home team the momentum, which was later capitalised by skipper Rew as he launched into the Indian bowling attack by playing some cracking shots that left the visitors searching for ideas. Brief scores: England U-19: 174 all out in 42.2 overs (Isaac Mohammed 41, BJ Dawkins 62, Ben Mayes 31, Thomas Rew 76 not out, Ralphie Albert 21; Kanishk Chouhan 3/30) lost to India U-19: 274 for 6 in 34.3 overs (Vaibhav Suryavanshi 86, Vihaan Malhotra 46, Rahul Kumar 27, Kanishk Chouhan 43 not out, RS Ambrish 31not out; Alexander Wade 2/58).
