Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history

Indian cricket’s rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi has created a new history in List-A cricket. While playing against Sri Lanka A in the title match of the Tri-Series, Vaibhav destroyed the opposition bowlers. He made a world record by completing his half-century in just 11 balls. With this he broke the 20 year old record of Kaushalya Weeraratne of Sri Lanka. Who, while playing for Ragama Cricket Club, scored a fifty in 12 balls against Kurunegala Youth on 1 November 2005. During this innings, Vaibhav also left behind Sarfaraz Khan’s Indian record. Sarfaraz had scored a half-century in 15 balls for Mumbai against Punjab in the last Vijay Hazare Trophy season.

missed a century

Vaibhav narrowly missed equaling the global record of the fastest century in List-A cricket. This record is in the name of Australia’s Jake Fraser-McGurk, who scored a century in 29 balls against Tasmania in October 2023. Vaibhav, who scored only 117 runs in the first four matches of the tri-series, made an excellent comeback in the final. Now fans are waiting for his upcoming tour of Ireland and England.
