Indian batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered an explosive performance, scoring 96 runs from just 50 deliveries during India's ICC U19 World Cup warm-up match against Scotland. The left-handed opener showcased his formidable form by smashing 9 fours and 7 sixes, narrowly missing a century. This significant knock helped India Under-19s post a commanding total of 374 for 8 in their allotted 50 overs at the Bulawayo Athletic Club in Zimbabwe. The match, played on Saturday, January 10, 2026, was a crucial preparation fixture ahead of the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup 2026, which is set to commence on January 15. Suryavanshi's innings was a highlight, marked by a rapid half-century achieved in merely 27 balls, demonstrating his aggressive intent and power-hitting prowess. His current form has been consistently strong, including a recent century (127 runs off 74 balls) against South Africa U19 in a youth ODI series, where he also led the team to a 3-0 victory. Reports also highlight his impressive age, being just 14 years old, which further underscores the exceptional nature of his talent and potential. This performance has certainly put other U19 World Cup teams on alert regarding the threat posed by the young Indian opener. The team aims to fine-tune their combinations and strategy in these warm-up games before the main tournament, where India, as five-time champions, will be looking for their sixth title.
