Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes youngest to score U19 World Cup hundred; List of Indians to score tons in U-19 WC final

Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest batter to score a hundred in an ICC U19 World Cup match after the Indian opener scored his first-ever in the tournament in just 55 balls against England in the final at the Harare Sports Club. Playing his first U19 World Cup, Suryavanshi got starts throughout the tournament but failed to make it big.

The southpaw delivered when it mattered after India captain Ayush Mhatre opted to bat first in the summit clash as the Boys in Blue seek record sixth title. Before Suryavanshi, Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto held the record for youngest centurion at 15 years and 165 days. Suryavanshi is aged at 14 years and 316 days at the time of scoring his hundred.

In the process, Suryavanshi also became the third Indian to score a hundred in an U19 World Cup final. Previously, Unmukt Chand (111 not out in 2012 final against Australia) and Manjot Kalra (101 not out in 2018 final against Australia) held the record. India won both the finals.
