Top 5 fastest 100s in U-19 ODIs ft. Vaibhav Suryavanshi

India's young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi carried on his magnificent form in the U-19 ODI series against England. In the ongoing fourth Youth ODI, the 14-year-old left-hander smashed a swashbuckling century.

In doing so, Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed the record for the fastest hundred in U-19 ODIs. Building on his form from the IPL 2025 season, he has impressed for India U-19 in the ongoing series against England U-19.

Suryavanshi had scored a 19-ball 48 ball in the first game. He made 45 runs in the second game, once again getting a good start. He converted the starts in the third match with a half-century, making 86 runs off just 31 balls. However, he had failed to go all the way and make a hundred, which he finally achieved in the fourth game of the five-match series.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke a 12-year-old record which was previously held by Pakistan batter Kamran Ghulam. On that note, here are the top five fastest hundreds in U-19 ODIs.
