Mini Kohli? 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Destroys England U19 with 5 MASSIVE Sixes in No.18 Jersey

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a blazing start in the youth ODI series against England as he smashed 48 runs in just 19 balls during India’s chase of 175 in the first match at Hove.

The 14-year-old opener, wearing the iconic jersey No.18, played a fearless knock that included three fours and five huge sixes, bringing IPL-style fireworks to under-19 cricket.

Suryavanshi starts with a bang

Opening the innings alongside Ayush Mhatre, who also played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, Suryavanshi attacked right from the start.

He hit a four on the second ball he faced and continued to find boundaries in almost every over. The highlight of his knock came when he smashed two consecutive sixes off spinner Jack Home, putting England on the back foot early.

However, his fiery knock came to an end in the 8th over when Ralphie Albert dismissed him for 48. By then, India had already raced ahead in the chase, thanks to the damage done by the young opener.

The rise of a young star

Vaibhav Suryavanshi first caught attention last year when he scored a hundred in a youth Test against Australia.

His fearless approach earned him an IPL deal with Rajasthan Royals, where he smashed a stunning 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, a knock that went viral and cemented his name as a future star.

He also represented India in the U19 Asia Cup last year and is now carrying his form into the England tour.
