Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a part of the India U19 cricket team that will play England U19 in the five-match Youth ODI 2025 series, starting Friday.

All five matches of the India U19 vs England U19 Youth ODI series will start at 3:30 PM IST.

The first match of the IND U19 vs ENG U19 Youth ODI series will take place at Hove, while the next two will be held at Northampton. Worcester will host the final two matches of the series.

The Indian U19 cricket team will be led by Ayush Mhatre.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who represented Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 and scored 252 runs in seven games at an average of 36.00 and a strike rate of 206.56, had opened the batting alongside Mhatre in the Indian U19 team’s warm-up match on Tuesday.

The 14-year-old prodigy scored 17 runs off 13 balls during the side’s 50-over warm-up match against Young Lions Invitational XI. India won the match by 231 runs.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has played some memorable knocks for India’s U19 team in the past, including one in his unforgettable debut.

In September 2024, Vaibhav wrote his name into the record books on debut for the India U19 team in a youth Test against Australia in Chennai.

At just 13 years and 188 days old, the left-handed batter scored 104 off 62 balls before being run out.

His century in just 58 deliveries is the fastest ever by an Indian in youth Tests and the second-quickest overall behind England’s Moeen Ali, who smashed a 56-ball ton against Sri Lanka in 2005.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also played a starring role in helping India reach the final of the U19 Asia Cup last year.

The five-match Youth ODI series will be followed by two multi-day matches.
