Aus U19 vs Ind U19: 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on the fast-track. He is surely making the bat talk. In the ongoing U-19 tour of Australia, he has been unstoppable. In the three ODIs he played prior to the Youth Test, he amassed 124 runs at an average of 41.33 and with a strike rate of 112.73. After a very good show in the limited overs format, he has carried his good form into red-ball cricket as well. In the first Youth Test at Brisbane versus Australia U-19, Suryavanshi smashed a breathtaking 78-ball hundred.
