Fresh off scoring the fastest hundred in men’s Youth ODIs and becoming the youngest centurion in the format, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is now eyeing an individual score of 200 in the near future.

The teenager scored 143 off 78 balls at a whopping strike rate of 183.33, hitting 13 fours as well as 10 sixes during his knock in the fourth match of the ongoing IND U19 vs ENG U19 series at Worcester on Saturday.

Vaibhav’s blistering 52-ball century broke the previous record for the fastest century in men’s Youth ODIs held by Pakistan’s Kamran Ghulam, who had reached the milestone in 53 deliveries, also against England, back in 2013.

Unaware that he had created new records while at the crease, the 14-year-old was dismissed in the 28th over and could have gone on to make a 200-plus score had he batted a little longer.

“I didn’t know that I had created a record. After making the hundred, our team manager Ankit sir told me that I have created a record today,” Vaibhav told BCCI.

“I will try to score 200 in the next match. So, I’ll try to play the full 50 overs. The more I run, the more the team will benefit. So, I’ll try to play the full game in the next match. That’s my focus,” Vaibhav Sooryavanshi added.

Hasitha Boyagoda holds the record for the highest score in Youth ODI cricket - 191. He scored it against Kenya back in 2018.

Vaibhav, who represents Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, also became the youngest to score a century in Youth ODIs at the age of 14 years and 100 days.

Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto (14 years and 241 days) held the record previously.

The teenager also revealed how watching national team Test captain Shubman Gill play long innings’ in the ongoing 2025 India vs England series has inspired him to follow in the Indian skipper’s footsteps.

“I got a lot of inspiration from him (Shubman Gill) because I saw the game (at Edgbaston). Even after scoring 100 and 200, he kept at it and he took the team forward. I could have also made my knock longer in my mind because I had a lot of time,” Vaibhav observed.

“I had 20 overs left to play. I could have made the inning longer. There was a shot that I couldn’t give my 100 percent that’s why I got out. So I’ll try to make the inning longer like him,” he said.

Saturday’s hundred against England U19 isn’t the first time that Vaibhav has created history this year.

Vaibhav scored a blistering century against Gujarat Titans to become the youngest-ever centurion and the fastest Indian to reach a ton in IPL history.

His 35-ball century for the Royals is also the second-fastest in IPL history, behind only Chris Gayle.

Vaibhav also struck the second-fastest hundred in men’s Youth Tests against Australia U19 in Chennai last year. He scored a century in just 58 balls and sits behind England’s Moeen Ali, who hit a 56-ball hundred in 2005.

The 14-year-old prodigy has been in red-hot form in the ongoing series against England U19s.

Prior to his record-breaking ton, Vaibhav had scored 48 (19), 45 (34) and 86 (31) in the first three matches of the series.

He will be in action with the India U19s once again against England for the final match of the series at Worcester on Monday. India currently have an unassailable 3-1 lead.
