Vaibhav’s wonder inning against UAE

In the opening match of the ACC U-19 Men's Asia Cup 2025, the hosts, UAE, won the toss and decided to put India first. India lost captain Ayush Mahtree early in the innings, and thus Vaibhav Suryavanshi had to mix his aggression with stability to balance out the innings.

Along with Aaron George, Vaibhav went on to add 212 off 146 for the second wicket and sent India U19 to a commanding position.

After settling in with quick singles and calculated strokes through the offside, he unleashed a breathtaking surge of power hitting. The left-hander soon reached his fifty in just 30 balls and kept hitting the bowlers out of the park post the milestone.

From 60 to 100, he just took 16 deliveries, featuring a sequence of audacious lofted drives, pick-up shots, and sweeps that left the UAE bowlers visibly rattled.

By the time he raised his bat for the hundred, the Indian dressing room was on its feet, celebrating yet another headline performance from the teenager who has repeatedly redefined the boundaries of youth cricket.

A 2025 for the ages

To call his 2025 season extraordinary would be an understatement. Suryavanshi has scored a century in every major tournament he has played in across formats and conditions. The list reads like a veteran’s portfolio, not a 14-year-old’s résumé:

• A hundred in the Indian Premier League, becoming the youngest centurion in the tournament’s history.

• Fastest IPL hundred by an Indian, smashing the milestone with fearless clarity and astonishing power.

• A hundred in a Youth ODI in England, demonstrating calm adaptability in swinging conditions.

• A hundred in a Youth Test in Australia, proving he can grind and dominate in the longest format.

• A blistering 32-ball hundred for India A, a knock that sent shockwaves through domestic cricket circles.

• A Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) hundred, underlining his readiness for elite-level domestic competition.

• And now, a match-winning hundred in the U-19 Asia Cup, the latest jewel in what is rapidly becoming cricket’s most talked-about breakout year.
