Match Report
In the U19 Asia Cup 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi announced his dominance at the age-group level with a monstrous 171 off 95 balls against UAE U19. The innings featured 14 sixes and 9 fours — a display of power hitting that left the opposition helpless.
The 171 became the highest score by an Indian batsman in the history of the U19 Asia Cup. Vaibhav batted with a strike rate of 180.00, treating the UAE bowling attack with utter disdain. His ability to clear the boundary at will — 14 sixes from just 95 balls — showed the kind of raw power that was already drawing comparisons to the greatest hitters in world cricket.
This innings served as a preview of what was to come in the U19 World Cup just weeks later. Vaibhav was in the form of his life, and every age-group bowler in the world was about to find out what that meant.
