India’s young sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, has scripted a magnificent record in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, becoming the youngest batter to score a century in List A Cricket. Playing for Bihar, the 14-year-old hammered a century against Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday, December 24.

The left-handed batter opened the batting after Bihar opted to bat first in the clash, which got underway at JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi. He reached the three-figure mark off just 36 balls, eventually scoring 190 runs off 84 deliveries.

During his innings, he hammered 16 boundaries and 15 sixes, striking the opposition bowlers all over the park at a strike rate of 226. With his amazing century, he drove Bihar’s scoreboard to 574/6 in the first innings.
