15-Year-Old Sooryavanshi Smashes Fastest List A Fifty! šš¤Æ
Teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made history with an 11-ball fifty in Dambulla! He broke a 21-year-old record and almost hit the fastest century. Don't miss this cricket sensation's incredible feat!
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old cricket sensation, has etched his name into the record books by smashing the fastest List A fifty in history. Playing for India A in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla on Sunday, June 21, 2026, Sooryavanshi reached his half-century in an astonishing 11 balls, breaking a 21-year-old record.
This incredible feat surpasses the previous record of 12 balls, held by Sri Lanka's Kaushalya Weeraratne since 2005. Sooryavanshi, who is poised to make his India debut later this month, truly saved his best for the summit clash, delivering a performance that left fans and critics in awe.
The young prodigy's innings was a whirlwind of power-hitting, as he blazed his way to 94 runs off just 29 deliveries. His knock was adorned with 10 magnificent fours and eight towering sixes. He reached his fifty with a combination of five sixes and five fours, effortlessly dismantling the Sri Lanka A attack. After struggling in the league stage, Sooryavanshi came out with clear intent from the very first ball, hitting two sixes and three fours in his initial five deliveries.
Sooryavanshi was also on the brink of equaling the joint-fastest List A century record, held by Jake Fraser McGurk, who achieved his century in 29 balls. However, he was caught at mid-off in the ninth over, just one stroke shy of the historic milestone. Despite falling short of the century, his 94 off 29 balls remains a testament to his rare talent and explosive batting. His ability to hit good balls out of the park, targeting the leg-side off pacers and then adapting to hit over extra cover, was a highlight of his innings.
This performance is another strong indicator of Sooryavanshi's immense potential. The young cricketer from Bihar had already earned his India T20 call-up for the upcoming Ireland and England tours, following breathtaking performances in the IPL playoffs. Interestingly, earlier in the tri-series, Sooryavanshi was involved in a heated exchange after being sledged by a Sri Lanka A player, adding another layer of drama to his burgeoning career. His effortless sixes, particularly those over extra cover, were a sight to behold and underscore why he's considered one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket.
