Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Record-Breaking Hundred Hands India Unassailable Series Win
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's record century led India U19 to a series win vs England. The 14-year-old hit the fastest Youth ODI hundred.
Star India cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi's outstanding performance continued to elevate his status, as he smashed the fastest Youth ODI hundred, leading India U19 to a series-clinching 55-run win against England.
India now hold an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
Suryavanshi, who had a brilliant IPL 2025, showed his skills in the ODIs as well, scoring 143 off just 79 deliveries at an impressive strike rate of 183, including 13 boundaries and 10 sixes.
India posted a total of 363/9 in 50 overs and then restricted the England colts to 308 in the 46th over. Naman Pushpak took 3/63.
The day belonged to the 14-year-old Suryavanshi, who broke the record for the fastest Youth ODI hundred, held by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam, who had reached the milestone in 53 balls against England in 2013.
Until now, Raj Angad Bawa's 69-ball hundred against Uganda at the U19 World Cup three years back was the fastest hundred by an Indian in Youth ODIs.
Suryavanshi achieved his 100 in just 52 deliveries, making him the youngest batter to reach his milestone in youth cricket.
Suryavanshi was 14 years and 100 days old when he scored his hundred, going past Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto, who reached the three-figure mark at 14 years and 241 days.
This achievement is a continuation of Suryavanshi's brilliant career, having become the youngest batter to score a hundred in the Indian Premier League, doing so in just 35 deliveries for the Rajasthan Royals against the Gujarat Titans.
Suryavanshi recorded the second-fastest hundred in men's Youth Tests against Australia U19 in Chennai in 2024. He reached the hundred in just 58 deliveries, second only to former England allrounder Moeen Ali, who smacked a 56-ball hundred 20 years ago.
Suryavanshi's latest feat earned high praise from Bihar Cricket Association president Rakesh Tiwari.
'This is a moment of immense pride for Bihar. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has not only brought glory to the state but has also made the entire nation proud. Achieving such a milestone at such a young age is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and mental strength," Tiwari said.
He added that Suryavanshi is on his way to breaking several other records.
'This is just the beginning. Vaibhav's century is the first of many records yet to be broken. With his talent and determination, we believe he will continue to rewrite the history of cricket in the years to come," Tiwari said.

Will need to come up with answers for Gill: Butcher
Bharat SharmaLondon: Shubman Gill's technically sound game and serene temperament has left quite an impression on former England opener Mark Butcher, who feels the Indian Test captain has taken ownership of Virat Kohli's number four spot quite comfortably despite the 'enormous scrutiny'. Butcher, who has been commentating in the ongoing India-England Test series, has been left in awe of the visitors' batters especially Gill, K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. All three go to Lord's for the third Test starting July 10 with hundreds against their names. Gill's staggering performance includes three hundreds and has catapulted his average into the 40s from mid 35s in just two Tests. Speaking to PTI, Butcher said what Gill has done in his first series as captain is beyond special. 'There aren't many jobs in world sport that come with as much pressure and scrutiny as being Indian cricket captain, right? Not to mention you're filling in Kohli's spot in the order, or Tendulkar's spot in the order (both held number four spot). 'So the pressures were enormous. And so far, he's taken to it like a duck to water. He's just looked very, very comfortable, very serene in terms of his temperament,' said the 52-year-old, who played 71 Tests for England between 1997 and 2004. There were some questions over Gill's temperament and technique ahead of the series but the 25-year-old shut that debate for the foreseeable future with 585 runs in four innings. 'And technically, he's played beautifully as well. So what a great start to the series. I mean, he might have some records in his side by the end of it. He's passed enough already. So what's he got? 600 already in the series. It has been an incredible start. 'And England will have to come up with an answer for him in that middle order, because they obviously feel, that you get past the top three or then there are bounties to be had a bit further down the order,' he said referring to India's brittle lower-order.

India vs England Test: Alyssa Healy's blunt take on Shubman Gill's dream run - 'Ball not really...'
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JULY 06: Player of the match Shubman Gill after winning the 2nd Rothesay Test Match between England and India at Edgbaston on July 06, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by) Australia women's team captain Alyssa Healy has taken a sly dig at Shubman Gill 's dream run in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, where he has amassed 585 runs in two Tests. Healy praised the Indian captain for what he has done so far in the series, but at the same time, she mentioned that the Duke ball is not doing much. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I watched a little clip on his dismissals early in his career, and the ball was moving a lot. He got bowled, LBW a lot, like coming back through the gate," Healy said on the Willow Talk podcast. "That was his technical flaw, and all of a sudden, that's not happening now. So he's gone and worked on that. He's fixed that. "But also the ball, like, not really doing a whole heap, has probably helped him in that regard too. I am not downplaying this at all because it's been remarkable. "But yeah, like, kudos to him for making some technical changes knowing that hopefully they'd work in England." However, former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin showered praise on the new Indian captain. "It's what the best players in the world do. You all come in to start the Test career," said Haddin. Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir shut critics with thumping win over England "Everyone's got footage of everyone, and sometimes you can get exposed in a certain way, and it's not about getting exposed. It's about how you react to that and come back. And he's come back world-class. We've seen this for some time coming in the IPL. "He's been great taking over the captaincy there. He doesn't get flustered. He seems like one of those guys who's got an even tempo through the whole time. "And that's good for an Indian captain because a lot of the time, you can get caught up in the emotion of what's happening in the game. But what he's done with his team, the big thing as well — no Bumrah." Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Shikhar Dhawan Interview: 'Shubman Gill Is Elegant, Rishabh Pant Brings Unpredictability'
Last Updated: Shikhar Dhawan speaks to News18 CricketNext about the future of Indian cricket, from Vaibhav Suryavanshi's talent, to Gill-Pant dynamic and his choice of next white-ball openers. Shikhar Dhawan's retirement from the Indian team was never just about losing a top-class opener. The country's talent is vast, and it was always going to happen — sooner for him than the other 2/3rd of the famous top-order trio, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, because of their stature and leadership needs. It was more about losing a character. Dhawan in Blue brought some fun into the hard work in one of the best white-ball teams the country has seen, whether it was with his relentless ability to hit pacers through covers, that infectious smile in celebrating hundreds, or the obvious, thigh-slaps. So when News18 CricketNext got the opportunity to ask the former opener a few questions, we touched upon a variety of subjects, mostly about the team's journey after him. Excerpts: The One felt right because people know the Shikhar who scored runs, celebrated with thigh fives, and danced through victories. But this book dives into the other side of the doubts, the struggle & the pressure no one saw. It's about everything that made me the person I am, not just the player. Are you following the ongoing Test series between India and England? You had a really underrated Test career. Do you miss the format? I do keep an eye on it. I've always loved Test cricket, it's where your patience, technique, and temperament get tested like nowhere else. I have some beautiful memories, especially that debut hundred in Mohali. They definitely have the talent and the stage. Rishabh brings unpredictability, while Gill is calm and elegant. If they stick around, stay grounded, and keep learning they could form that core, the one that wins big games under pressure. But the journey is long and consistency and fitness will decide how far they go. What do you think about Vaibhav Suryavanshi's talent? Is it too early to set expectations? And if you had to give him one piece of advice? The boy's got something special, no doubt. But yeah, it's still early days. My advice would be don't rush the process. Fame & form, they come and go. What stays is discipline, humility, and how well you know yourself. If he can hold onto that, he'll definitely go far. India has an abundance of openers in Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, KL Rahul, and so many more. Who are your first-choice picks going forward in ODIs and T20Is? It's a great sign for Indian cricket. Jaiswal and Gill are solid they are fearless, and still evolving. I'd back them for the long run. Abhishek has that aggression & flair. The bench strength is insane. The key will be consistency and handling pressure when it really matters & I think that will define who will open the innings in respective formats.
