Vaibhav Suryavanshi created absolute pandemonium at the Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe with a knock for the ages in the ongoing U19 World Cup 2026 final. Suryavanshi slammed an 80-ball 175 against England U19 and made a statement on the biggest stage of junior cricket.

The 14-year-old has been making a strong imprint with the bat throughout the tournament. However, his explosive intent in the final, after opener Aaron George was dismissed, was on another level. Vaibhav partnered skipper Ayush Mhatre to lift India’s total from 20/1 to 251/3 inside 21.3 overs.
