Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scripts history with a sensational knock
Summary: At 14, Vaibhav becomes the first batsman ever to hit 190+ in List A cricket.
Cricket’s domestic scene was stunned this week when 14-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi pulled off something no batter has ever done in the history of List A cricket.
Playing for Bihar in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Sooryavanshi smashed an incredible 190 runs off just 84 balls — a total that not only lit up the scoreboard but also rewrote the record books. No other cricketer, at any age, had ever reached nearly 200 runs in a List A match before. The 14-year-old didn’t just flirt with big scores — he owned them, launching an innings that will be talked about for years.
What makes the feat even more remarkable is how he built it. Sooryavanshi hit16 fours and 15 sixes with ease, pacing his innings in a way that professional players twice his age would admire. He timed the ball well all around the ground and kept up an incredible strike rate throughout. This kind of composure, at such a young age and on a big stage, instantly caught the attention of cricket fans across India.
His innings helped his team score a big total and also made the tournament enjoyable. Clips of his stroke play went viral on social media, drawing parallels to veteran stars, while experts struggled to find prior performances that matched his level of dominance.
Bihar’s performance in the same match was historic in its own right, but headlines quickly gravitated toward the teenager’s extraordinary knock. Veteran players and analysts have been praising the innings, calling it one of the most exciting emerging talent displays in Indian domestic cricket.
As word spreads, many are already wondering what’s next for 14-year-old Sooryavanshi. With performances like this, the cricketing world will be watching keenly — and expecting more fireworks from this young star as he continues his journey.
