India’s teenage prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi set another record for the maximum sixes in Youth ODI cricket during India’s second Under-19 One Day International match against Australia Under-19 at the Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane on Wednesday.
The 14-year-old surpassed compatriot Unmukt Chand’s previous record by hitting his 39th Youth ODI six.
Chand had struck 38 maximums across 21 matches, while it took Suryavanshi only 10 innings to reach the milestone. The attacking left-hander smashed six sixes during his 70-run knock against Australia before falling to Australian skipper Yash Deshmukh, courtesy of a remarkable catch by Aryan Sharma.
Suryavanshi who has already set multiple records, now scored 540 runs in Youth ODIs. 26% of the run came out of boundaries. He currently has 41 sixes to his name. Among Indians, after Suryavanshi and Chand, Yashasvi Jaiswal has the most maximums in Youth One-Day cricket. Jaiswal, now an established name in the Indian set-up, struck 30 sixes in the 27 matches he played between 2018 and 2020.
