Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old cricket prodigy who made waves in IPL 2025 with Rajasthan Royals, is gearing up for his first India U19 tour of the UK, aiming to bring home a trophy.

Suryavanshi's breakthrough season included a record-setting century against Gujarat Titans, where he scored 101 runs off just 35 balls, featuring seven fours and 11 sixes. This feat made him the youngest male T20 centurion at 14 years and 32 days.

Reflecting on his achievements, Suryavanshi said, 'Next season aur bhi accha karne ka try karunga team ke liye... Learning ye hai ki maine jo bhi kiya hai usse 2x accha karna padhega...Meri bhi team next year ho sakta hai finals khele. So I will focus on my betterment.'

Looking ahead to the UK tour, he expressed excitement about the new experience and the team's goal: 'First time UK ja raha hu. So naya experience rahega kaise kya chalta hai waha ground pe. Kafi accha chal raha hai preparation and koshish karenge waha se bhi trophy lekar aye.'

His coach, Ashok Kumar, is optimistic about Suryavanshi's future, stating, 'He has the potential to play for India's senior T20I team in the next two years if he focuses on fitness and fielding.'

Suryavanshi's rapid rise and record-breaking performances have earned him a spot on the India U19 multi-format tour of England, alongside promising players like Mumbai's Ayush Mhatre.

With his fearless batting style and determination, Suryavanshi is a young talent to watch as he embarks on this new chapter in his cricketing journey.
