Match Report
In the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, Vaibhav Suryavanshi played one of the most destructive innings in the history of Indian domestic cricket. Against Arunachal Pradesh, he smashed a breathtaking 190 off just 84 balls — an innings that rewrote multiple record books.
The highlights were staggering: 15 sixes (the most by any Indian batsman in a single List A innings) and 12 fours. His century came off just 36 balls, making him the youngest List A centurion in Indian domestic cricket at 14 years and 272 days. But the real headline was his 150 — reached in just 59 balls, breaking AB de Villiers' world record of 64 balls for the fastest List A 150 in men's cricket.
The innings was a masterclass in calculated aggression. Vaibhav didn't slog — he picked his lengths, chose his areas, and executed with stunning precision. Bowlers who dropped short were pulled over midwicket; anything full was driven through the covers or lofted over long-off. The 15 sixes weren't mishits that cleared the boundary — they were clean, commanding strikes that left fielders watching.
At 14, Vaibhav had broken a record held by one of cricket's most innovative batsmen ever. AB de Villiers himself acknowledged the feat on social media, writing: "Records are meant to be broken. If someone is going to break mine, I'm glad it's a 14-year-old who plays with that kind of freedom."
