Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit the fastest century on record in youth one-day internationals in a remarkable 143 as India beat England by 55 runs at Worcester. <\/b><\/p>\n

Suryavanshi, who shot to fame by becoming the youngest player and century-maker at the Indian Premier League<\/a> earlier this year, reached three figures in just 52 deliveries in a stunning display of boundary hitting.<\/p>\n

The opener crashed 13 fours and 10 sixes in his 78 deliveries to power his side to 363-9.<\/p>\n

His straight-hitting off pace and spin was particularly devastating but he also slashed cuts and heaved away sweeps.<\/p>\n

The previous fastest century in youth ODIs was a 53-ball effort by Pakistan’s Kamran Ghulam against England in 2013.<\/p>\n

Suryavanshi, who scored 86 in the third ODI earlier this week and 45 and 48 in the first two matches of the series, shared a partnership of 219 with number three Vihaan Malhotra for the second wicket.<\/p>\n

Malhotra made a comparatively sedate 129 from 121 balls.<\/p>\n

Rocky Flintoff, son of former England all-rounder Andrew, scored a century of his own as England attempted to chase 364, top-scoring with 107 (91), including seven fours and four sixes. <\/p>\n

However, his knock, which followed a 104-run opening stand between BJ Dawkins and Joseph Moores, was in vain as England were bowled out for 308. Had England completed the chase, it would have been a record in the format. <\/p>\n

Having also won in Hove and Northampton, India have an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit the fastest century on record in youth one-day internationals in a remarkable 143 as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-240760","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114802104907536065","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
