Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes 84-ball 190 and breaks two world records
Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has sent shockwaves through Indian cricket by smashing a breathtaking 190 off just 84 balls in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, breaking two world records in the process. Playing for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh, the teenage sensation became the youngest player ever to score a List A century and set the record for the fastest 150 in one-day cricket history. His incredible innings featured 16 fours and 15 sixes at a strike rate of 226.19, leaving spectators and experts stunned by his fearless hitting.
Youngest List A centurion at 14
Suryavanshi came to the crease with attacking intent and raced to his maiden List A century in just 36 balls. This makes him the second-fastest Indian to a List A hundred, behind only Anmolpreet Singh’s 35-ball effort from last year, also against Arunachal Pradesh. But what makes Suryavanshi’s achievement truly special is his age—at 14, he is the youngest player in the world to score a century in any professional one-day tournament.
The knock was not just about speed but also composure. Despite his young age, Suryavanshi showed the confidence and stroke play of a seasoned professional, finding gaps all around the ground and punishing anything loose from the Arunachal Pradesh bowlers.
Fastest 150 in List A cricket history
After reaching his century, Suryavanshi did not slow down. He accelerated past the 100-run mark with ruthless efficiency, reaching 150 in an astonishing 54 balls. This eclipsed the previous world record for the fastest 150 in List A cricket, which was held by South African legend AB de Villiers, who had taken 64 balls.
This achievement puts Suryavanshi’s name alongside one of the greatest limited-overs batsmen of all time and shows just how explosive his batting can be. He looked on course to break the record for the fastest double century in white-ball cricket but was dismissed for 190 off 84 balls, falling just 10 runs short of another historic milestone.

Bihar post massive 574 in 50 overs
Suryavanshi’s fireworks were the highlight of Bihar’s incredible total of 574 in 50 overs, which is being reported as a world record score in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The team capitalized on Arunachal Pradesh’s weak bowling attack, with Suryavanshi leading the charge and demoralizing the opposition with his relentless assault.
Latest in a year of records
This performance is the latest in a series of record-breaking achievements for Suryavanshi in 2025. Earlier this year, he made headlines as the youngest-ever IPL debutant and centurion when he played for Rajasthan Royals. He also smashed a 32-ball hundred for India A in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament, showing his ability to dominate across different formats and age-group competitions.
His unique blend of talent, fearless hitting and ability to handle pressure at such a young age has drawn comparisons to legendary figures in Indian cricket. At just 14, he has already become one of the most exciting prospects in the country.
What’s next for the prodigy?
As the Vijay Hazare Trophy progresses, all eyes will be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi to see if he can continue this incredible form. With the IPL 2026 season approaching and more opportunities likely to come his way at the national level, the cricketing world is eagerly watching to see how many more milestones this prodigious talent will conquer.
For now, his 84-ball 190 stands as a reminder that age is just a number when it comes to raw talent and determination. Indian cricket has found a new phenomenon, and his journey has only just begun.
