Indian youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi entered the history books as he smashed a sensational hundred against Australia U19 in an unofficial Test match in Chennai on Tuesday. Suryavanshi reached 100 in just 58 balls to record the fastest-ever hundred for the India U19 team in red-ball cricket. 

The 13-year-old left-handed batter smashed a quickfire 81* on Day to give India a brilliant start on Day 1 on Monday. India U19 started Day 2 from 103 for 0 in 14 overs with Suryavanshi batting on 81* runs.

Suryavanshi took just 58 balls to reach his maiden century for the U19 team and to create history. He missed out on matching Moeen Ali’s all-time record for the fastest century in Youth Tests by just two balls. The recently-retired English all-rounder holds the record for the fastest U19 Test hundred in just 56 balls against Sri Lanka in 2005.
