India's 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made history in the Under-19 World Cup final, smashing an incredible 175 from just 80 balls against England. The IPL rookie left the England players in awe with his breathtaking innings, which included 15 sixes and 15 fours at a strike-rate of 218.75.
Suryavanshi's knock began slowly, with him scoring 24 off his first 24 balls before unleashing a flurry of boundaries to set up a blistering finale. The Indian teenager's 126-minute stay at the crease was eventually ended by England seamer Manny Lumsden in the 26th over.
The innings left India on 411-9 from their 50 overs, which proved to be more than enough to see off the English team. In contrast, England struggled to keep pace with India and were eventually bowled out for 311 all out, having lost four wickets for three runs in just a few overs.
Suryavanshi's achievement has taken his World Cup tally to 439 runs in seven innings at 62.71, second only to Ben Mayes (444 at 74). The Indian teenager's record-breaking knock also includes the highest score in an Under-19 World Cup final, beating Unmukt Chand's 111* for India in the 2012 final against Australia.
Suryavanshi's performances have been nothing short of phenomenal. He became the youngest player to hit a century in men's T20s when he made a 35-ball hundred for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans and also holds the record for most sixes (15) in a youth ODI innings, beating his own record of 14 against the United Arab Emirates at last year's U19 Asia Cup.
The win marked India's sixth Under-19 World Cup title, with England's last success coming in 1998. The victory will be a morale booster for the team and Suryavanshi, who has become an overnight sensation in the cricket world with his incredible skills on the pitch.

i mean this kid is a total rockstar 
vaibhav suryavanshi is literally unstoppable on that pitch right now he's got the skills and the confidence to take on anyone and prove it with those insane innings 15 sixes and 15 fours? that strike-rate of 218.75 is like whoa 
and to do all that in just 80 balls? that's insane.
OMG I'm still reeling from that innings!! The kid is a phenom! 175 off 80 balls is just insane 
His average in the tournament is like, whoa 
The way he unleashed those boundaries and sixes was pure magic 
Can't wait to see what he does next 
, next it's AI systems that can process info faster than a human brain 
, and before you know it, we'll have robots making decisions for us... what's the point of even having sports if everyone's just gonna be a superstar? 
and the fact that he took 126 minutes to get out is just mind-blowing. i was watching the match with my friends and we were all like "wow, this kid can hit" 
. i'm loving the fact that india won the under-19 world cup too - it's a great win for them and Suryavanshi must be on cloud nine 
.
. The fact that he broke this record in the final of the Under-19 World Cup is just incredible. He's definitely going to be a star player for India's cricket team
