Young Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to earn praise for his remarkable individual performances in red-ball cricket. The youngster recently hit an impressive 70 off 68 balls for India U-19s vs Australia. Vaibhav’s latest electrifying outing came against Australia U-19s at the Ian Healy Oval, Brisbane.
His new tally pushes his career total in Youth ODIs (Y-ODIs) higher, as he now ranks in the top all-time hitters at this level.
Why are Fans Calling Vaibhav “Sixer King”?
Suryavanshi’s 70 comes with some remarkable streaks to eclipse records set by other U-19 cricketers. His latest tally included six 6s and revealed another side to the youngster’s big-hitting potential. Vaibhav’s potential at hitting back-to-back 6s wowed audiences and led to his new nickname.

How Does Suryavanshi Currently Rank Among U-19 Youth ODI Players with Most Runs?

Other Indian batters like Yashasvi Jaiswal (1386 runs in 27 YODI matches) and Unmukt Chand (114 runs in 21 YODI matches) can provide inspiration for the youngster ahead of upcoming games.
Why is Suryavanshi’s Progress in Y-ODIs Attracting So Much Media Attention?
Suryavanshi’s ascension to the summit of youth-level batters has more to do with his age and work rate. The 14-year-old shows maturity during innings and could eclipse all youth-level batsmen before he turns 19. He has a long youth circuit to look forward to and already has IPL experience as an early teen.
Vaibhav’s profile received a massive boost when he came on against the Gujarat Titans (GT) during IPL 2025. News about his talent became clear for fans to see as he delivered a big-hitting performance against established bowlers and fielders.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) youngster continues to excel across formats and receives massive media attention whenever he sets new records.
