NEW DELHI: India’s cricketing future appears to be in safe and sensational hands. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old prodigy from Bihar and Rajasthan Royals’ latest find, has once again captured national attention after smashing a jaw-dropping 190 off just 90 balls in a practice match at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The video of his explosive knock, recorded during an India Under-19 team camp, has since gone viral, sending social media into a frenzy.

This latest innings adds to the rapidly growing legend of Suryavanshi, who has already rewritten the record books in his debut IPL season.
This year, the teenager became the youngest-ever centurion in men's T20 cricket when he hammered 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, a blistering knock that included the second-fastest century in IPL history, off just 35 deliveries.
Suryavanshi made his IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants under unexpected circumstances, stepping in for the injured Sanju Samson.
He made an immediate impact, smashing his very first ball, bowled by Shardul Thakur, for six, and finishing with a quickfire 34 off 20 balls. By the end of the season, he had tallied 252 runs in seven matches, cementing his place as one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket.
His IPL journey began in unprecedented fashion when, at just 13 years old, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore during the 2025 auction, making him the youngest player ever to sign an IPL contract.
But Suryavanshi's brilliance isn’t limited to T20s. He notched a 58-ball century in a four-day match against Australia U-19, played a key role in India’s run to the final of the 2024 ACC U-19 Asia Cup, and famously scored an unbeaten 332 in the Randhir Verma Tournament, a remarkable triple-century in junior cricket.
