India Under-19 captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi produced a sensational batting display against South Africa Under-19, scoring a breathtaking century that reflected his aggressive style. What made the knock even more special was that it was his first century as captain, achieved by hitting more sixes than fours.

Vaibhav’s explosive innings has created a wave of excitement among Indian cricket fans ahead of the upcoming Under-19 World Cup.

Third U19 ODI Century for Vaibhav

Batting with authority, Vaibhav reached his hundred in just 63 balls. He went on to score 127 runs, an innings laced with 10 sixes and nine fours. At the time he completed his century, he had already struck eight sixes and six boundaries, underlining his fearless approach.

This was Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s third century in Under-19 ODI cricket. Earlier, he had registered hundreds against England Under-19 and UAE Under-19, further cementing his reputation as one of India’s most destructive young batters.

Memorable South Africa Tour

The South Africa tour proved to be special for Vaibhav in more ways than one. Not only was it his first tour of the country, but it also marked his rise as a leader. Leading from the front, he finished the tour on a high just before the Under-19 ODI World Cup.

In the three Under-19 ODIs played on the tour against South Africa Under-19, Vaibhav scored a total of 206 runs, which included one century and one half-century. His average during the series stood at an outstanding 103.
