Suryavanshi hit 13 fours and 10 sixes in his knock.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a strong message to his opponents by aiming to achieve a double ton in the upcoming match, only one day after striking a 52-ball century in the Youth ODIs against England U-19.
With 143 runs off 78 deliveries, the 14-year-old achieved the fastest century in youth ODI history. In his knock, he hit ten sixes and thirteen fours.
He wants to do what Shubman Gill did against England in the second Test match at Edgbaston, but he is still unhappy.
"Mujhe pata nahi tha ki maine record create kiya hai 100 banana ke baad. Mujhe humare jo team manager hai Ankit sir unhone bataya ki aaj maine ek record create kiya. (I didn't know that I had created a record after making 100. Our team manager Ankit sir told me that I have created a record today),” Suryavanshi stated in a video shared by BCCI.
On the second day of the Edgbaston Test, the India U-19 team was watching the match from the stands when Team India captain Shubman Gill hammered a double ton.
“Kaafi inspiration Mila unse. Dekha maine game ko, 100 and 200 banane ke baad bhi unhone game chhoda nahi aur team ko aage le kar gaye. Mere mind mein aaj wahi tha main aur lamba kar sakta tha kyunki kaafi time tha mere paas. 20 overs aur baaki the, mai aur lamba khel sakta tha. (I got a lot of inspiration from him because I saw the game. Even after scoring 100 and 200, he kept at it and took the team forward. I could have made it longer, it was in my mind because I had a lot of time. I had 20 overs left after that. I could have made that innings longer),” Vaibhav added.
Here is the video:
“Ek shot tha jo mai 100% nahi de paaya iske wajah se mai out ho gaya, thoda mai aur try karta unke tarah lamba karu. Sabne congrats bola baaki toh abhi hotel ja ke pata chalega. (There was a shot that I couldn't give 100%, that's why I got out. Otherwise, I would have tried like Shubman Gill to make it big. Everyone congratulated me. The rest we will know after going to the hotel.)
"Celebrate kuch nahi, jaise bas normal har game rehta hai waise hi hai, bas thoda khush hoon kyunki aaj maine team ke liye kuch acha kiya hai. Ghar pe baat karunga aur next match mein try karunga ki 200 karu. Next time yahi try rahega ki full 50 overs khelu. Jitna mai run karunga utna team ko fayda hoga. Mai try karoonga ki next game mein mai pura khelne ka try karu, bas ispar focus hai.
(No celebration, it was just like any other game. I am just a little happy because I did something good for the team. I will talk to my family, and in the next match, I will try to score 200. Next time, I will try to play the full 50 overs. The more I score, the more the team will benefit. I will try to play the full game in the next match and that's my focus).” He signed off.
India has won the five-match series 3-1, and the last game will be played on Monday.
