14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become a name to remember in Indian cricket. Bursting onto the scene with a historic Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign, where he became the youngest-ever centurion in T20 cricket, the southpaw has only continued to rise. His dominance at the Under-19 level, highlighted by record-shattering performances, has made it clear — Vaibhav Suryavanshi is no ordinary talent.
From a blistering century in England to becoming the youngest Youth ODI centurion, Suryavanshi is rewriting cricket history one innings at a time. As fans and experts watch in awe, here are three major Indian cricket records he could break in the near future.
1. Highest Individual Score in Youth ODIs
Vaibhav Suryavanshi recently hammered 143 runs off just 78 balls against England Under-19 in Worcester — a knock filled with clean hitting and mature shot selection far beyond his years. That explosive innings has put him within striking distance of the highest individual score by an Indian in Youth ODIs.
The current record is held by Ambati Rayudu, who scored an unbeaten 177 off 114 balls against Australia Under-19 in Sydney back in 2002. With Suryavanshi’s aggressive yet controlled batting style, it seems only a matter of time before he surpasses Rayudu’s long-standing record.
2. Highest T20 Score by an Indian
Suryavanshi already holds the record for being the youngest T20 centurion, thanks to his jaw-dropping 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 — achieved at just 14 years and 32 days old. That innings featured 11 massive sixes and showcased his ability to dominate even experienced bowlers.
Looking ahead, he could challenge the record for the highest T20 score by an Indian. That milestone currently belongs to Tilak Varma, who smashed 151 off 67 deliveries against Meghalaya in 2024. Given Suryavanshi’s fearless mindset and rapid scoring ability, this record is well within reach.
Could He Become India’s Youngest International Debutant?
Another historic benchmark Vaibhav could target is becoming India’s youngest-ever debutant across formats. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar holds that record, having made his Test debut at 16 years and 205 days. With two more years to go, and already performing at levels beyond his age group, there’s a realistic chance Suryavanshi could wear the Indian jersey even earlier.
His maturity, consistency, and versatility make him a strong candidate for early international selection — especially in the shorter formats where his power-hitting has already made headlines.
