Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sets U-19 WC Record
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a very young and talented cricketer from India.
He played in a big cricket tournament called the Under-19 World Cup.
In a match against Bangladesh, he scored 72 runs, which is a lot for his age.
This made him the youngest player ever to score 50 or more runs in this tournament.
Before him, the record was held by a player from Afghanistan.
Vaibhav has also scored more runs than a famous Indian cricketer named Virat Kohli did when he was young.
This shows that Vaibhav is a very special player and has a bright future in cricket.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, aged 14, scored 72 runs off 67 balls against Bangladesh in the Under-19 World Cup.
He became the youngest player to score a half-century in the Men's Under-19 World Cup.
The previous record was held by Afghanistan's Shahidullah Kamal, who scored a fifty at 15 years and 19 days.
Suryavanshi has surpassed Virat Kohli's tally of runs in Youth ODIs with 1,047 runs in just 20 matches.
This performance highlights Suryavanshi's potential and sets a new benchmark in youth cricket.
