Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi score a century in the upcoming matches?
Yes, definitely! No, not likely.
Suryavanshi will also become the youngest centurion in Youth ODIs in the world if he manages to reach the three-figure mark. Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto is the youngest to score a Youth ODI ton, reaching the landmark aged 14 years and 241 days against Sri Lanka U-19 in 2013.
The fastest Youth ODI century ever was hit by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam, who slammed a 53-ball century against England U-19 in 2013.
For India, Raj Angad Bawa has hit the quickest century in Youth ODIs; the all-rounder smoked a 69-ball century against Uganda in the 2022 U-19 World Cup, which India went on to win.

But the biggest goal is to make it (the event) bigger," said Chopra, who also met Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on reigning world champion, aged 27, said Bengaluru was an ideal choice to host a competition of this scale."I am feeling very good.

Pakistan yet to get government clearance for Asia Cup, Junior Hockey World Cup in India
Senior officials from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) and Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) have confirmed that they are still awaiting government clearance to participate in two major hockey tournaments scheduled in India later this year — the Men's Asia Cup and the Junior World Asia Cup is slated to be held in Rajgir, Bihar from August 27 to September 7, while the Junior World Cup is set to take place in Chennai and Madurai from November 28 to December Secretary General Rana Mujahid said that a formal request has been submitted to the PSB seeking approval to send national teams to India, but no final word has been received. 'The PSB has forwarded the official query to the concerned ministries, and they are yet to respond,' he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. PSB spokesperson Khurrum Shahzad added that participation remains unconfirmed until the government communicates its stance. 'We have sent the PHF's request to the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination, which in turn has forwarded it to the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A decision is awaited,' Shahzad an Indian sports ministry source clarified on Thursday that Pakistan will not be barred from competing in either event, as doing so would contravene the Olympic Charter, which prohibits political interference in multi-national sporting competitions.'We are not against any team competing in India in a multi-national event. Blocking Pakistan would be a violation of the Olympic Charter. However, there will be no relaxation when it comes to bilateral events,' the source said. The ministry's position also opens the door for Pakistani participation in other upcoming tournaments in India, including the Junior World Cup of Shooting and the World Para Athletics Championships, both scheduled later this year in New and Pakistan have not engaged in any bilateral sporting contest since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Even multi-lateral encounters have come under question in the wake of recent geopolitical tensions, including the April Pahalgam terror attack and India's subsequent military response through Operation Sindoor. However, the Olympic Charter, which treats sport as a vehicle for peace and cooperation, compels host nations to accommodate all qualified participants in global events.'Even Russia and Ukraine continue to compete in the same tournaments despite being at war. That's how international sport operates, and we are respecting those norms,' the Indian ministry source for the Asia Cup of cricket, which may feature a high-voltage India-Pakistan clash in September, the official said the ministry has not yet received a request from the BCCI and will address the issue when approached.- EndsMust Watch
