Brisbane, September 24, 2025 — Indian teenage prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi shattered the record for the most career sixes in Youth ODI cricket during his 70-run knock off 68 balls in the second India U-19 vs Australia U-19 50-over match at the Ian Healy Oval on Wednesday.

Suryavanshi’s Record-Breaking Performance Sets New Youth Cricket Milestone

The 14-year-old left-hander from Bihar delivered a masterclass in power hitting, studding his innings with five fours and six sixes. His fourth maximum of the day took him past former India U-19 skipper Unmukt Chand’s tally of 38 from 21 matches.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the efficiency with which Suryavanshi reached this milestone. The 14-year-old took just 10 innings to set a new record and extended his tally to 41 sixes. In comparison, the previous record-holder Unmukt Chand required 21 matches to accumulate his 38 maximums.

Youth ODI Sixes Leaderboard Reshuffled After Brisbane Blitz

With his latest exploits, Suryavanshi has firmly established himself atop the Youth ODI sixes charts. India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has the third-most maximums in Youth ODIs, with 30 sixes in 27 matches.

The current top three in Youth ODI sixes:

Vaibhav Suryavanshi (India) – 41 sixes in 10 innings
Unmukt Chand (India) – 38 sixes in 21 matches
Yashasvi Jaiswal (India) – 30 sixes in 27 matches

Suryavanshi’s Batting Display Powers India to Competitive Total

Suryavanshi reached his half-century off 54 balls and looked in scintillating form before falling to Australian captain Yash Deshmukh. His dismissal came at a crucial juncture, with the score reading 117/2 in 18.3 overs when he departed.

Despite the early setback of losing opener Ayush Mhatre, Suryavanshi’s aggressive approach provided the perfect platform for India’s innings. Riding on Suryavanshi and Vihaan Malhotra’s innings of 70 runs each, India set a target of 301 for Australia U19 in 49.4 overs.

Australia U19 Struggle in Chase of Suryavanshi-Powered Target

The impact of Suryavanshi’s power-hitting became evident during Australia’s reply. While writing this report, Australia U19 are reeling at 96-4 in 26.4 overs, struggling to match the aggressive tempo set by the Indian batting lineup.

Consistent Excellence Across Youth Cricket Formats

This latest record is part of an extraordinary year for the young Bihar batsman. Earlier this year, Suryavanshi finished as the top run-scorer in the five-match India U19 vs England U19 Youth ODI 2025 series, accumulating 355 runs in five matches at an average of 71.00 and an impressive strike rate of 174.01.

From IPL Sensation to Youth Cricket Record-Breaker

Suryavanshi’s meteoric rise continued beyond youth cricket this year. After becoming the youngest player ever to go down the hammer at the IPL 2025 auction, Suryavanshi also became the youngest centurion in IPL history after smashing a 35-ball 100 for Rajasthan Royals against the Gujarat Titans.

His IPL debut season was nothing short of spectacular. The youngster finished IPL 2025 with 252 runs in seven matches at a blistering strike rate of 206.56, which earned him the Super Striker of the Season award.

Impact on Youth Cricket Development

Suryavanshi’s record-breaking achievements highlight the evolving landscape of youth cricket, where aggressive batting and power-hitting have become increasingly prominent. His ability to consistently clear boundaries at such a young age sets a new benchmark for upcoming cricketers in the Youth ODI format.

The Bihar prodigy’s journey from a relatively unknown talent to breaking international youth records in just one season demonstrates the depth of cricket talent emerging from India’s domestic circuits.

With this being his second impressive innings of the series after his quickfire 38 off 22 balls in India’s seven-wicket win in the first ODI, Suryavanshi has established himself as the key performer in this bilateral series.

As Australia U19 struggles in their chase, India U19 appears well-positioned to seal another series victory, largely thanks to Suryavanshi’s record-breaking heroics with the bat.

The 14-year-old’s remarkable consistency across different formats and tournaments suggests that Indian cricket has discovered a generational talent who could transition seamlessly into senior cricket in the coming years.
