Vaibhav Suryavanshi has continued his incredible year, smashing 113 off just 86 balls in the first Youth Test against Australia U19s at Ian Healy Oval, Brisbane. The 14-year-old smashed eight sixes, which is record for any U19 Test match in a single innings, beating the previous record of six.

Suryavanshi brought up his hundred off just 78 balls. The dynamic left-hander smashed a cover drive off Aryan Sharma’s left-arm spin to register three figures in his first red-ball match on Australian soil.

Suryavanshi also has the most sixes for India in Youth Tests. He now has 15 to his name, going past his captain Ayush Mhatre who was dismissed for a 15-ball 21 early on day two.

Suryavanshi’s CV is becoming more impressive by the day. Following his incredible century in the 2025 Indian Premier League, the left-hander smashed a 78-ball 143 in an ODI against England U19 in July. Now, he can add a Youth Test century away from home to his growing list of magnificent achievements.

At the time of writing, India U19 are sitting pretty at 248/3, already leading by five runs in the first innings. Vedan Trivedi is not out on 73.

Earlier in the match, India continued from where they left off from ODI series, bowling Australia out for 243 despite Steven Hogan’s 246-ball 92. Deepesh Devendran was the star, taking his first five-wicket haul (5/45) in Youth Tests. Opening bowler Kishan Kumar also had a day to remember with 3/48.

The teams are scheduled to play two Youth Tests, with the second starting on October 7 in Mackay.
