Teen prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi seems to be rewriting record books every time he walks out to bat. On Wednesday, the 14-year-old batting sensation added another glittering feather to his cap, smashing a breathtaking 78-ball century during the second day of the first Youth Test between India U19 and Australia U19 at the Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane.
Opening the innings, Vaibhav Suryavanshi provided India with the perfect reply after the hosts were bundled out for 243 on the opening day. His dazzling 113 off just 86 balls, laced with nine boundaries and eight towering sixes, showcased not only his raw talent but also his fearless stroke play. Fittingly, he brought up his century in style—hammering a six followed by a four off consecutive deliveries.
The knock went straight into the record books. His 78-ball ton is now the second-fastest in Youth Test history, just behind skipper Ayush Mhatre’s whirlwind 64-ball effort against England U19 earlier this year.

More impressively, it stands as the quickest century in Youth Tests on Australian soil, surpassing Liam Blackford’s 124-ball milestone from 2023. At just 14 years and 188 days, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also became the youngest batter to score a Youth Test century in Australia—yet another staggering benchmark for a player still in his teens.

This isn’t his first brush with history either. Back in July, he became the youngest cricketer to score a fifty and take a wicket in the same Youth Test before turning 15, eclipsing Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s long-standing record. He also matched New Zealand great Brendon McCullum’s feat of scoring two Youth Test centuries in under 100 deliveries.

Fans will also recall his explosive batting in the IPL earlier this year, where he stormed into the headlines with a jaw-dropping 35-ball hundred—the fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest in league history.
Clearly, Vaibhav Suryavanshi isn’t just knocking on the door of greatness—he’s barging right through it.
