India’s 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi had a quiet start with the bat against the USA in the U-19 World Cup. He was dismissed for just 2 runs, leaving fans stunned
After bowling the USA out for 108, India approached the chase calmly with no real pressure and went on to win by six wickets, with the target later revised to 96 due to a rain delay
At just 14 years and 294 days, Vaibhav became the youngest cricketer ever to play in an Under-19 World Cup, breaking a 16-year-old record
The previous record was held by Canada’s Nitish Kumar since 2010. Vaibhav shattered it, proving age is just a number
Vaibhav also became the youngest bowler to take a wicket in U-19 World Cup history and earlier the youngest captain to score a Youth ODI century
One low score can’t define him. At 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already rewritten record books and this feels like only the start of a special journey.
