India U19’s rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name into the history books with a breathtaking hundred against England U19 on July 5 during the fourth Youth ODI of the ongoing series.

He displayed an array of aggressive strokes all over the ground, dominating England’s bowlers with ease and confidence.
