India’s new sensational batter, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, has continued his aggressive trend with the bat during the second 50-over clash between Australia and India in the U-19 games. He cracked the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for the Rajasthan Royals as the fans were not left disappointed at the Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane during the Youth ODI.
During the clash, Suryavanshi broke the record for most sixes by an Indian player in the competition. The previous record belonged to the former U-19 World Cup-winning captain, Unmukt Chand, with 38 sixes over boundaries, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and the wicket-keeper batter, Sanju Samson, clubbed 30 and 22 sixes respectively in the list.
