“I have been drinking Complan for as long as I can remember, so it’s not just a brand to me; it’s been my partner from the local nets to the national stage. Breaking records takes more than just luck. It takes a daily plan, my mom’s support, and the right nutrition to keep me sharp. It’s that 'Thoda Plan, Thoda Complan' vibe doing the work every day so I can chase these big dreams. When you have a plan and the right fuel, you feel like you can take on anyone.” Sooryavanshi addressed.

The ‘Thoda Plan, Thoda Complan’ campaign signals the new phase of evolution, reinforcing the commitment to remain a relevant partner of the families with growing ambitions for today’s children.

In the previous six editions of the Under-19 World Cup history, India have become the champions thrice and ended up being the runners-up three times.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's powerful 175 helped India U19 score 400+ total

Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dominated the first 25 overs of the innings, which set the story of the game, despite England's brilliant attempt to make a comeback in the game. Vaibhav smashed 175 runs in just 80 balls with 15 fours and 15 sixes. 

Also, the skipper Ayush Mhatre scored 53 off 51 balls, while the middle-order batters Vedant Trivedi (32), Vihaan Malhotra (30), and Abhigyan Kundu (40) played some useful innings before Kanishk Chouhan's 37 not out off 20 balls secured the 400+ total for India U19. 

Among the English bowlers, James Minto (3/63) got three wickets, while Sebastian Morgan (2/74) and Alex Green (2/49) bagged two wickets each.

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026, Final (India U19 vs England U19): India U19 scored 411/9 in 50 overs 

After India U19 chose to bat first in the Final, they scored 411/9 in 50 overs, powered by the opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's stormy 175 off 80 balls with the help of 15 fours and 15 sixes.

Highest total in ICC U19 Cricket World Cup knockouts 

Meanwhile, the 411/9 for India U19 was also the record total in the U19 Cricket World Cup knockout stages, while the previous record was 349/6 for India U19 against Namibia U19 in the 2016 Quarter-finals.

Highest total in any U19 ODI Final (Youth ODI Final)

On the other hand, the 411/9 for India U19 is also the new record for the highest total in the history of a Final in any U19 ODI or Youth ODI tournaments. The previous record was 347/8 by Pakistan U19 against India U19 in the U19 Asia Cup 2025 Final. 

India U19 recorded their 2nd highest ICC U19 Cricket World Cup total

While India U19 recorded their third 400+ total in the tournament history, the most by a team, the 411/9 was their second-highest total in the U19 Cricket World Cup history. Their record total in the tournament is 425/3 against Scotland U19 in the 2004 edition. In the meantime, India U19's 411/9 was the third-highest total in their Youth ODI history, while the record is 433/6 against UAE U19 in the U19 Asia Cup 2025.  

So, the 411/9 for India U19 became the fifth-highest total in the history of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup.  

Apart from the storm of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, captain Ayush Mhatre scored 53 off 51 balls. While Vedant Trivedi (32) and Vihaan Malhotra (30) were dismissed for 30s, wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu scored 40 off 31 balls. Also, Kanishk Chouhan lately scored 37 not out off 20 balls with three fours and one six.   

During the Final of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 between India U19 and England U19 at Harare on Friday (February 6), Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi created history. The left-handed opening batter not only recorded the highest score in the U19 Cricket World Cup Final but also recorded the second-highest score by an Indian in Youth ODI history.

After India U19 chose to bat first in the Final, the Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made the English bowlers clueless as he produced his best knock of the tournament for the Final. The left-handed opening batter not only scored his fourth 50+ score in the tournament, but also completed his first century in the competition in 55 balls, the second fastest century in the tournament's history. 

Later, Vaibhav completed 150 runs in just 71 balls, as he became the first batter to score 150+ runs in the U19 Cricket World Cup Final. The previous highest score was 111 not out by Unmukt Chand (India U19) against Australia U19 during the 2012 edition Final.

Before losing his wicket in the 26th over, where India U19 scored 251/3 at his dismissal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi slammed 175 off just 80 balls with the help of 15 fours and 15 sixes. It was the highest score by an Indian in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup history, beating the previous record of 162 not out by Raj Bawa against Uganda U19 in the 2022 edition. Meanwhile, Vaibhav beat his own record to set a new record for the second-highest score by an Indian in the Youth ODIs.

Highest scores by Indian batters in Youth ODI (U19 ODI) history

• Ambati Rayudu: 177 not out off 114 balls vs England U19 (2002)
• Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: 175 off 80 balls vs England U19 (ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 Final)

• Mayank Agarwal: 160 off 142 balls vs Australia U19 (2009)
• Shubman Gill: 160 off 120 balls vs England U19 (2017) 

The record-holder five-time champions India U19 have got a powerful start in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 Final against one-time winners England U19, where the Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed his first century of the tournament by reaching the three-figure mark in just 55 balls. 

India U19 chose to bat first in the Final of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 against England U19 at Harare on Friday (February 6). Although the opener Aaron George (9), the centurion in the Semi-final, was dismissed cheaply after a 20-run opening partnership with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Vaibhav and captain Ayush Mhatre set up a solid firing partnership. They had a 142-run partnership for the second wicket before the Indian skipper was dismissed for 53 off 51 balls.

In the Final, Vaibhav completed his fourth half-century in the tournament in 32 balls, where he smashed six fours and three sixes. After completing his fifty, Vaibhav became more furious with the bat, as there was no clue from the English bowlers to stop his storm. 

In just 55 balls, Vaibhav completed his century with the help of eight fours and eight sixes. It was the second fastest century in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup history, just behind Australian Will Malajczuk's 51-ball hundred against Japan U19 earlier in the group stage of this tournament. Meanwhile, Vaibhav recorded the fifth fastest century in Youth ODI history. 

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi completed 150 runs in 71 balls

While Vaibhav took only 23 balls to complete his second 50 runs, he reached the 150-run mark in just 71 balls, taking only 16 balls for his next 50 runs. The Indian opener has already recorded the highest individual score in a Final of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup, breaking the previous record of 111 not out by Unmukt Chand for India U19 against Australia U19 in the 2012 Final. To complete 150 runs, Vaibhav hit 12 fours and 13 sixes. 

Record-holder five-time champions India U19 set a new record in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup history after comfortably beating Afghanistan U19 in the Semi-final of the 2026 event, as they have qualified for the Final of the tournament to face one-time champions England U19 on Friday (February 6).

Meanwhile, it was the joint second highest successful chase in the Youth ODI history.

IND U19 vs AFG U19 Match FAQs

The ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 semifinals will feature India Under-19 after Pakistan failed to meet their qualification requirements during the Super Six match at Queens Sports Club Bulawayo on February 1.

India seal semifinal berth after Pakistan fall behind the rate

Pakistan failed to establish the required speed for their chase because they faced an extremely difficult target. Usman Khan fought hard to achieve a half-century but the required run rate continued to increase after each over. Indian bowlers created continuous pressure through their tight bowling which prevented Pakistan from increasing their scoring rate during the middle overs.

Ayush Mhatre played a key role with the ball, dismissing Ahmed Hussain and later trapping Usman Khan lbw for 66. Pakistan faced increasing difficulties because their batting partners died and they faced continuous dot-ball deliveries. Pakistan reached 167 for 4 in 34 overs which made it impossible for them to achieve their target within the remaining time.

As a result, India officially sealed their semifinal berth, becoming the fourth and final team to qualify alongside Australia, Afghanistan and England. The unbeaten Indian side now moves into the knockout stage with momentum firmly on its side.
