IND U19 vs AUS U19 Youth Test: India's star teenager, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, can't stop himself from smashing centuries and creating records. The youngster on Wednesday had created another record as he had smashed a hundred off 78 balls on Day 2 of the first youth Test against Australia U19 in Brisbane.

Suryavanshi Slams Fastest Century On Australian Soil

The 14-year-old Suryavanshi has also become the youngest batter to have smashed a hundred in this format in Down Under.

Earlier this year, Suryavanshi became the first batter to have smashed a half-century and take a wicket before 15 the age of. He had achieved this milestone in England and had broken the record made by Bangladeshi Mehiy Hasan Miraz, who achieved this feat after turning 15.

Suryavanshi Equals McCullum’s Record

Suryavanshi had also leveled Brendon McCullum's record of smashing two hundreds in this format in less than 100 balls.
