"Fourteen-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi hammered a stunning 175 from just 80 balls as India thumped England by 100 runs in the Under-19 ODI World Cup final in Harare on Friday. Suryavanshi, who has already made history by becoming the youngest player to post a century in the Indian Premier League, lashed 15 fours and 15 sixes in his innings, which saw him score his last 151 runs from just 56 balls."
"They closed their 50 overs on 411-9. England launched a spirited attempt at making the runs, with opener Ben Dawkins making 66 and middle-order batter Caleb Falconer striking a sublime 115 from 67 balls. Falconer was last man out, superbly caught by Khilan Patel, with England all out for 311 in 40.2 overs and India winning the title for the sixth time."
"Picked up by the Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi then announced himself on the world stage by belting his first ball fearlessly for six on his IPL debut. Nine days later, he clubbed the Gujarat Titans bowlers to all parts as he scored the second-fastest hundred in tournament history. The teenager brought up his century off 35 balls with 11 sixes and seven fours to stand behind only West Indies great Chris Gayle, who took 30 balls to make a ton in 2013."
Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 175 off 80 balls, hitting 15 fours and 15 sixes and scoring his last 151 runs from 56 balls.

The result secured India's sixth Under-19 World Cup title. Suryavanshi finished the tournament with 439 runs in seven innings at an average of 62.71 and earned player of the match and player of the tournament honours. He previously hit a 58-ball century in his Under-19 debut and a 35-ball century in the IPL.
