SportsTreat | #Cricket | #RisingStar
Indian cricket has unearthed yet another prodigy. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, has created history by smashing the world record for the most sixes in Youth ODIs, surpassing the previous mark held by Unmukt Chand. What makes the feat extraordinary is that Vaibhav has achieved it in just 10 innings, announcing himself as one of the most explosive batting talents in world youth cricket.
A Record-Breaking Blitz
The milestone came during India’s recent Youth ODI series, where Vaibhav launched the ball over the ropes multiple times to cement his place in the record books. His ability to clear boundaries with ease, despite his age and build, has drawn comparisons to some of India’s biggest cricketing power-hitters.
Unmukt Chand, who had set the earlier record in a much longer span, was known for his consistency and clean hitting. But Vaibhav’s strike rate and power-hitting ability have taken the cricketing fraternity by surprise.
The Rise of a Teenage Sensation
Born in 2011, Vaibhav’s journey into cricket started like many others—with tennis ball games on local grounds. What set him apart was his fearless approach. Coaches at the grassroots level quickly spotted his natural flair for six-hitting, and he has since been groomed through India’s age-group cricket system.
At 14, he has already shown the temperament of a seasoned player, thriving under pressure and often taking the attack to the opposition when his team needed momentum.
Numbers That Speak for Themselves
Age: 14
Innings Played: 10
Most Sixes in Youth ODIs: World Record holder
Strike Rate: Among the highest in his age category
Career-best knock: A fiery 89 off just 48 balls with 9 sixes
These stats suggest India may have found not just a six-hitter, but a future game-changer in the making.
Praise From All Corners
Cricket experts, former players, and fans have been quick to take notice. Social media buzzed with excitement as highlights of Vaibhav’s six-hitting spree went viral. Some analysts even suggested he could become the next “youth T20 sensation” and a natural fit for the modern game.
The Road Ahead
While the numbers are already staggering, the real challenge for Vaibhav lies ahead. Balancing academics with cricket, avoiding burnout, and staying grounded will be crucial. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly planning to provide him with structured mentorship, ensuring he transitions smoothly into higher levels of cricket.
For now, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already etched his name into the record books, showing the world that age is no barrier when talent meets fearless cricket. His sixes are not just breaking records—they are signaling the rise of a future star who could one day light up the biggest stages of world cricket.
