14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi creates a sensation... smashing a fifty in just 15 balls and shattering Rishabh Pant's major record.

Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi created a storm in the second Youth ODI match against South Africa Under-19, shattering records in the process.

Vaibhav scored a half-century in just 15 balls, setting a new record for the fastest fifty by an Indian in Youth ODI cricket. In doing so, he broke the previous record held by Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi breaks Pant's record

In fact, while chasing a target of 246 runs, the young opener of the Indian Under-19 cricket team, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, scored a half-century in 15 balls. He surpassed Pant's record. In the 2016 Under-19 World Cup against Nepal in Dhaka, Pant had scored the fastest half-century in 18 balls, but now Vaibhav has broken that record.

The Indian Under-19 captain played a brilliant innings of 68 runs off 24 balls, which included 1 four and 10 sixes. The 14-year-old Vaibhav also holds the record for the fastest century in this tournament, where he scored a century off 52 balls against England in Worcester last year.
