Abhigyan Kundu Creates History With Milestone Knock In U19 Asia Cup 2025, Registers India’s First Youth ODI Double Hundred

India U19 cricketer Abhigyan Kundu has made history in youth ODIs with a landmark knock in the U19 Asia Cup 2025. He is now the first Indian to score a double hundred in Youth ODIs. Kundu etched the feat against Malaysia during a match in Dubai.

The Boys in Blue were on a rampage after being asked to bat first. Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Vedant Trivedi powered their sides with solid knocks and stabilised the team despite a couple of early dismissals. But Abhigyan Kundu was a man on a mission when he appeared to bat.

At the Sevens Stadium in Dubai, Abhigyan Kundu walked in to bat following Vaibhav Suryavanshi's dismissal. The wicketkeeper-batter delivered an unbeaten 125-ball 209, putting India in the driver's seat against Malaysia in the group stage match-up.

Abhigyan Kundu's unbeaten 209 has helped him become the first Indian to score a double hundred in Youth ODIs. He is also the second batter to score a double ton in the U19 ODIs. South Africa's Jorich Van Schalkwyk currently has the highest individual score in Youth ODIs, scoring 215 against Zimbabwe in July 2025.

The wicketkeeper-batter also eclipsed fellow teammate Vaibhav Suryavanshi's record for securing the highest score by an Indian in Youth ODIs.
