The 14-year-old batter scored 86 off just 31 deliveries, including six fours and nine sixes, during India’s four-wicket victory in a rain-shortened 40-over contest in Northampton on Wednesday, July 2. It is worth mentioning that the left-handed batter had recorded scores of 48 and 45 in the first two games.
Suryavanshi reached his half-century in just 20 balls. The southpaw became the second-fastest Indian U19 batter to do so. Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant had smashed an 18-ball fifty against Nepal in 2016.
