Teenager Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed an astonishing 144 off just 42 balls in India A’s victory over the United Arab Emirates in their Asia Cup Rising Stars T20 match.
The 14-year-old, who shot to fame by becoming the youngest player and century-maker at the Indian Premier League earlier this year, reached his century in 32 balls.
It is the joint fifth-fastest hundred in all men’s T20s.
His second T20 century included 11 fours and 15 sixes as he propelled India A to 297-4 in Doha, with his side going on to win by 148 runs.
Suryavanshi hit the fastest century on record in youth one-day internationals, off 52 deliveries, in victory over England in July.
It followed his staggering 35-ball hundred for Rajasthan Royals in only his third IPL match in April, which also made him the youngest centurion in men’s T20s.
