DOHA: India A opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi tumbled multiple records with a whirlwind 144 from 42 balls in the second fixture of the Asia Cup Rising Stars against UAE here at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium on Friday.
The 14-year-old prodigy scored a 32-ball century, becoming the youngest to hit a century for a men’s representative side. Notably, his strike rate of 324.85 was the fourth highest for any men’s T20 hundred.
Moreover, he also now holds the record for the joint-second-fastest T20 hundred by an Indian.
28 balls: Urvil Patel – Gujarat vs Tripura (2024)
28 balls: Abhishek Sharma – Punjab vs Meghalaya (2024)
32 balls: Rishabh Pant – Delhi vs Himachal Pradesh (2018)
32 balls: Vaibhav Suryavanshi – India A vs UAE (2025)
Overall, the left-hander hit 15 sixes and 11 fours in his knock, which powered India to a 297-run total in their 20 overs.
It is worth mentioning that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also the youngest T20 centurion, at 14 years and 32 days. The southpaw first made headlines during his maiden appearance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, where he hit a sublime hundred while playing for Rajasthan Royals.
For the uninitiated, the rebranded Risin Stars Asia Cup is taking place from November 14 to 23 at the West End International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
The competition consists of eight teams: Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, and Hong Kong, which will be divided into two groups of four.
The marquee Pakistan vs India clash is slated for November 16, followed by the semi-finals on November 21 and the final on November 23.
