Brisbane, Sep 24 (NationPress) Indian teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made headlines by breaking the record for the most sixes in Youth ODI cricket during a stellar performance where he scored 70 runs off 68 balls in the second match between India U-19 and Australia U-19 at the Ian Healy Oval on Wednesday.

Suryavanshi's innings was highlighted by five fours and six sixes, with his fourth six allowing him to surpass the previous record held by former India U-19 captain Unmukt Chand, who had hit 38 sixes in 21 matches.

Remarkably, the 14-year-old achieved this milestone in just 10 innings, bringing his total to an impressive 41 sixes. Meanwhile, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal ranks third with 30 sixes in 27 matches.

Suryavanshi reached his half-century off just 54 balls, showcasing his remarkable form before being dismissed by Australian captain Yash Deshmukh. This innings followed his explosive 38 off 22 balls in India's seven-wicket victory in the first ODI of the series.

The left-handed batsman's performance laid a solid foundation for India U-19 after the early loss of Ayush Mhatre, who fell with the score at 117/2 in 18.3 overs.

With Suryavanshi and Vihaan Malhotra both scoring 70 runs, India set a challenging target of 301 for Australia U-19 in 49.4 overs. At the time of reporting, Australia U-19 was struggling at 96-4 in 26.4 overs.

Earlier this year, Suryavanshi was the top run-scorer in the five-match series against England U-19, amassing 355 runs at an average of 71.00 and a remarkable strike rate of 174.01.

After becoming the youngest player to be auctioned in the IPL 2025, he also made history as the youngest centurion in IPL, scoring 100 runs off just 35 balls for the Rajasthan Royals against the Gujarat Titans. He concluded IPL 2025 with 252 runs from seven matches, boasting a phenomenal strike rate of 206.56, which earned him the Super Striker of the Season award.
