Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed 175 off just 80 balls as India dominated England in the Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup final

India's 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi set a new record for the highest score made in an Under-19 Cricket World Cup final as he struck a stunning 175 from 80 balls against England.

After India won the toss and elected to bat first in Harare, the opener motored to his century off just 55 balls before continuing an astonishing onslaught against the shellshocked England bowling attack.

Suryavanshi, who turns 15 in March, struck 30 boundaries with an even split between fours and sixes, posting a remarkable strike rate of 218.75.

He was eventually out gloving England quick Manny Lumsden down the leg side to wicketkeeper - and skipper - Thomas Rew, with the score 251-3 from just 25.3 overs.

Suryavanshi previously hit the second-fastest century in IPL history, making 101 off 38 balls for the Rajasthan Royals

England fought hard to restrict India to 411-9 from their 50 overs, with Rew's side needing a record chase to pull off what would be a highly-unlikely victory.

Captain Ayush Mhatre (53) was the only other India batter to pass 50, but several useful cameos in the middle order helped them post a hugely-intimidating total.

Several England players offered their congratulations to Suryavanshi upon his dismissal, before the batter received a standing ovation from the crowd and his team-mates.

He ultimately fell 17 runs short of the record score in the tournament's history, which was set earlier at the 2026 tournament when Sri Lanka's Viran Chamuditha made 192 against Japan.

Suryavanshi became just the sixth man to score a century in an U19 Cricket World Cup final, comfortably clearing the previous highest score of 111 set by fellow Unmukt Chand against Australia in 2012.

The knock was the latest in a series of remarkable innings over the last year that have established Suryavanshi as perhaps the most exciting prospect in the men's game.

Suryavanshi blazed a trail for India U19s against with a 52-ball century on his way to making 143 against England U19s last summer

Suryavanshi made his IPL debut in April last year and went on to become the youngest player to score a century in the tournament - his 35-ball ton for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans the second-fastest ever in the IPL.

Friday's hundred also was not his first jaw-dropping knock against England, with Suryavanshi having struck 143 in Worcester during India U19's tour last summer.
