Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a batting prodigy, recently broke Unmukt Chand’s record for the most career sixes in Youth One-Day Internationals.
Unmukt, the U19 World Cup-winning skipper, set the standard with 38 sixes in 21 Youth ODI outings. Suryavanshi reached the milestone during India U-19’s current tour of Australia, after only a few appearances at the highest level of age-group one-day cricket.
Cricket Australia posted the video of Vaibhav Suryavanshi innings against AUS U-19 at Brisbane (Ian Healy Oval).

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s record-breaking moment came in an aggressive cameo in the first Youth ODI against Australia U-19 at Ian Healy Oval,
Where he hammered 38 off 22 balls to begin India’s chase. That quickfire cameo helped the visitors get a solid start and eventually a dominant seven-wicket victory in the series opener, in which Abhigyan Kundu (87*) and Vedant Trivedi (61*) later put together an unbroken 152-run partnership. Australia’s 225 was built around John James’ 77, but India’s bowlers had kept the hosts under pressure earlier in the match.
Meanwhile, Suryavanshi arrived at the Australia tour fresh off a solid England series and a stunning start to his IPL career with Rajasthan Royals, where he was signed as a teenager and later became the youngest men’s T20 centurion in franchise history. In the second ODI of the tour, the southpaw reached his fifty in 54 balls, which featured four sixes. His innings came to an end after a 68-ball 70, which was laced with five boundaries and six sixes. The youngster is looked up to as the next big thing in Indian cricket, and many experts and critics have stated that if he continues his fine form, a senior national men’s call-up and a potential debut are not far.
