Suryvanshi opened the innings for India in the first youth ODI and hammered 3 fours and 5 sixes during his 19-ball stay at the crease.
The India U-19 team faced England in the first youth ODI of the ongoing five-match series on Friday (June 27) and secured a win by six wickets. In the match played at County Ground in Hove, India bowled England out for 174 runs after Thomas Rew opted to bat first and then, riding on Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 48-run knock, chased down the target of 175 runs in just 24 overs for the loss of four wickets.
Suryavanshi, who made headlines for his attacking show in IPL 2025, faced 19 balls during his stay at the crease on Friday and hammered 3 fours and 5 sixes. He added 71 runs in 7.3 overs for the first wicket with captain Ayush Mhatre (21 runs from 30 balls).
The clips of Suryavanshi's batting were shared by fans on X on Friday, and within no time the videos went viral on the internet.

After Suryavanshi's dismissal, wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu scored 45 runs from 34 balls for the visitors to seal a big win.
Earlier in the first half of the match, Rocky Flintoff, who is the son of former England captain and legendary all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, impressed with his batting. Rocky came out to bat at No. 4 for the English team and, with the help of three fours and three sixes, scored 56 runs from 90 balls.
For India, Kanishk Chouhan picked up three wickets for 20 runs in 10 overs, and two England batters each were sent back to the pavilion by Henil Patel, RS Ambrish, and Mohamed Enaan.
Suryavanshi's performance in IPL 2025
14-year-old Suryavanshi was signed for Rs 1.10 crore by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on April 19, 2025, and scored six on the first ball he faced.
In his third IPL match, which was played against Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 28, 2025, Suryavanshi entered his name in the history books by becoming the youngest batter to score a century in T20s.
He crossed the 100-run mark in just 35 balls. By scoring a 35-ball century for the Riyan Parag-led side in that fixture, he also became the fastest Indian batter to score a hundred in the world's richest franchise cricket league.
