14-Year-Old Sensation Smashes U19 World Cup Final Record
India has stormed to a commanding victory over England in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup final, powered by a truly historic performance from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The teenager’s innings was nothing short of extraordinary, as he hammered 175 runs off just 80 balls, setting a new record for the highest score in a U19 World Cup final and sending shockwaves through the cricketing world.
Suryavanshi’s knock was explosive from the start. After a cautious 24-ball beginning, he unleashed an onslaught that saw 151 runs come off only 56 balls. With 15 sixes and 15 fours, his strike rate of 218.75 left the English bowlers scrambling and fans in awe. His 126-minute innings ended when seamer Manny Lumsden finally got him out in the 26th over, but by then India had already posted a staggering 411 for 9 in their 50 overs — the highest total ever in a U19 final.

England’s response began with promise, particularly a partnership between Ben Dawkins and tournament-leading run-scorer Ben Mayes. Mayes looked set to anchor a chase with 45 runs off 28 balls and skipper Thomas Rew contributed a quickfire 31. But India’s relentless bowling and strategic breakthroughs, including a collapse where England lost four wickets for just three runs, derailed any momentum. Caleb Falconer’s century of 115 from 67 balls kept England in contention briefly, but the lack of partnerships meant they eventually fell short, all out for 311, handing India a decisive 100-run victory.
This win marks India’s sixth U19 World Cup title, extending their record dominance at this level. For England, it’s a long wait to recapture glory, their last success coming back in 1998. Suryavanshi’s performance adds yet another chapter to his meteoric rise. Already famous for being the youngest player to hit an IPL century and for his record-breaking youth ODI centuries, this innings cements his status as one of cricket’s brightest young stars.
The implications of this match extend beyond the final score. Suryavanshi’s innings is a reminder of how talent can emerge early and impact games on the biggest stage, inspiring a generation of young cricketers worldwide. It also highlights the rising standards in youth cricket, where explosive scoring and fearless play are becoming the norm.
As the cricketing community digests this remarkable performance, the question is now how Suryavanshi’s career will unfold on the senior stage. For India, the victory reinforces their dominance in youth cricket, while for England, it’s a call to rebuild and adapt.
