Scroll down to read the brief news...
In the final match of the Under-19 World Cup 2026 played at the Sports Club in Harare yesterday, India defeated England by 100 runs to claim a record sixth title. The sole focal point of this victory was India's explosive 14-year-old opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who played a stormy innings of 175 runs off just 80 balls. With 15 sixes and 15 fours, he showed no mercy to the opposing bowlers, and India scored 283 runs for 3 wickets in 30 overs.
Records are made and broken on the cricket field, but Vaibhav's innings have created a stir on social media. The Iceland Cricket Board posted from their official handle, saying, "Arrest Vaibhav Suryavanshi immediately... This on-field violence against English bowlers is 'X-rated'!" This post has gone viral, with millions fuming over it. In fact, this 'violence' was not physical, but the 'fire' coming from Vaibhav's bat, which forced the English bowlers to run to every corner like criminals.
Vaibhav not only broke the record of England but also the world record of Australia's Travis Head. In the 2023 World Test Championship final, Head scored 174 runs against India, which was the highest score in an ICC tournament final. Vaibhav's 175 broke this record!
Due to this 'X-rated' innings, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the new hero of cricket fans, and his fan base is rapidly increasing on social media. This second Under-19 World Cup victory for India (sixth overall) is giving birth to a future star.
