Indian cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has rewritten the record books, with the teenager becoming the youngest man to score a List A century.
On the opening day of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, at only 14 years and 272 days, Suryavanshi belted a mammoth 190 from 84 deliveries which included 16 fours and 15 maximums.
He reached the century mark in only 36 deliveries, opening the batting for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh in a Plate League fixture.

When he reached the 150-run mark after 59 balls, he also overtook the likes of AB de Villiers and Jos Buttler to that milestone who reached it in 64 and 65 balls respectively.
Suryavanshi announced himself on the IPL stage earlier this year, belting his first ball in the competition for six.
Later he scored a staggering 35-ball century, which included 11 sixes, to spearhead the Rajasthan Royals’ run chase as they motored down the Gujurat Titans’ total of 209.
In featuring in this year’s IPL tournament, he became the youngest pick in an auction, being taken at No.13.
He finished that season with 252 runs art a strike rate of 205.55 in his seven games.

His latest century was his first in senior cricket outside of the T20 format, but his time in the Vijay Hazare Trophy could be short-lived.
The rising star is set to depart for Zimbabwe for the World Cup starting January 15, and it’s fair to say he will spearhead the Indian side.
He belted a mammoth 171 from 95 balls against the UAE in the Under 19s Asia Cup earlier this month.
