In the ongoing U-19 Test match between India and Australia, Vaibhav Suryavanshi made the fastest century in U19 for India.The young batter reached 100 runs in just 58 deliveries, then got run out at 104 runs.

This century is overall the second fastest century in the history of Test cricket till now. England’s Moeen Ali is the record holder, which was registered back in 2005 and was registered in 56 deliveries.

The century by Vaibhav after India restricted the visitors for 293 in the first innings.

Vaibhav’s father Sanjeev Suryavanshi had shared how his own passion for the sport drove his son to making rapid inroads in India’s domestic circuit.

“I was a cricket tragic myself. But in Bihar, let alone cricket, there was no scope for any sport. I moved to Mumbai at the age of 19 and did a lot of jobs, such as working as a bouncer in a nightclub in Colaba, working in a Sulabh toilet or at the port. I used to spend my off days at the Oval Maidan. There young kids playing cricket would be covered by pads and helmets. A few of them were so good that one could watch them for hours. I decided it then only that be it a son or daughter, I will make my children cricketers,” Sanjeev said.
