Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke the record for the fastest hundred in Youth ODIs against England Under-19 at New Road ground in Worcester on Saturday, July 5. The southpaw, playing for India Under-19, got to the mark in 52 balls, breaking former Pakistan batter Kamran Ghulam's record (53 balls).
Suryavanshi got to the mark with a single off Ralphie Albert in the 19th over of the innings. Earlier, England had won the toss and elected to field first in the fourth Youth ODI.
The southpaw has had an excellent series so far, with scores of 48, 45 and 86 in the first three matches. It has meant that India have invariably got off to a blazing start and put pressure on the England bowlers.
