India’s young talent, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, created a buzz by scoring a 36-ball century for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate league opener at the JSCA Oval Ground. This remarkable feat marked the second-fastest hundred by an Indian male cricketer in List A cricket, following Anmolpreet Singh’s 35-ball century in the same tournament last season.
Suryavanshi’s century places him joint-fourth in the world for the fastest centuries in List A cricket. He reached 150 runs off just 54 balls before eventually getting out for 190 off 84 deliveries, with Bihar standing at 379/2 in 39 overs. Earlier, he had also scored a century against Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025.
Known for his explosive batting, Suryavanshi holds several records, including being the youngest centurion in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at 14 years and 250 days. He has also set records in the U19 Asia Cup and Youth Test matches, showcasing his exceptional talent at a young age.
Suryavanshi’s recent achievements include a remarkable 144 off 42 balls in the Rising Stars Asia Cup, where he represented India A against UAE. His consistent performances have earned him recognition, with Instagram featuring his journey on its official page, making him the second Indian cricketer after Virat Kohli to receive this honor.
