Vaibhav Suryavanshi produced a remarkable performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy at just 14 years of age. Suryavanshi scored a List A century in only 36 balls, making it the second fastest List A hundred by an Indian. This innings came shortly after his failure in the Under-19 Asia Cup final against Pakistan, marking a strong comeback.
The fastest List A century by an Indian remains Anmolpreet Singh’s 35-ball hundred from the previous Vijay Hazare Trophy season. Suryavanshi’s 36-ball century now sits just behind that mark. In the global context, the fastest List A centuries are led by Jake Fraser-McGurk with 29 balls and AB de Villiers with 31 balls.
He scored 190 runs off just 84 deliveries. His boundary count included 16 fours and 15 sixes. In the same innings, Suryavanshi bettered AB de Villiers’ fastest 150 in List A cricket by 10 deliveries. His 15 sixes also became the most hit by an Indian batter in List A cricket.
During his knock, Suryavanshi was on course to break the record for the fastest double century in List A cricket. That record remains with Chad Bowes, who reached 200 in 103 balls. The Vijay Hazare Trophy record for a double hundred continues to belong to Narayan Jagadeesan, who achieved it in 114 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in 2022.
In terms of the fastest List A centuries worldwide, the record belongs to Jake Fraser-McGurk, who scored a century in 29 balls. AB de Villiers is second with a 31-ball century. In Indian List A cricket, Anmolpreet Singh leads with a 35-ball century, followed by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 36-ball hundred.
