Doha, November 18, 2025. Already buzzing before the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars final between Oman and India, the 14-year-old Indian batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has left the Oman players dazed with his cheeky six-hitting. Oman’s youngsters Samay Shrivastava and Aryan Bisht were left awe-struck by the left-hander’s 144 off just 42 balls which included 15 huge sixes, during a warm-up clash. “14 years old, how do you kill the peddles? S2” Aryan said, highlighting the expression of disbelief within the opponent’s camp.
Suryavanshi’s century, the 100 coming off just 32 deliveries, helped India A to a total of 148 runs in their 20 overs and allowed the team to destroy UAE by 148 runs, with a strike rate of 342.85 – the fourth highest for a T20 century. As the tournament moves into knockout mode (India won 2025, beating Pakistan to do so in Doha) in Doha, this boy wonder is making waves and changing the face of U-16 cricket. The next big thing or a moment of genius? So the boy wonder who made waves — let us unpack that.
HEAVY HITTER — 15 Sixes in 42 Balls: Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Explosive Form: Record-level innings
UAE massacre: 144 off 42, SR 342.85
In a Sunday massacre of sorts at Doha — the latest 14-year-old from Bihar — Vaibhav Suryavanshi just strolled in and milled the UAE bowlers into practice nets. Under heavy bombardment he racked up 11 fours and a mind-bending 15 sixes on his way to 144 off 42 balls, the joint-fifth fastest T20 hundred in the world. That 32-ball ton? Equal fastest by an Indian and = 2nd overall, behind Sir Urvil Patel & Abhishek Sharmas’ Syed Mushtaq Ali pyrotechnics but = 2nd with @RishabhPant17 — all in 2018 — 1020 India A won by 148 runs, crossing the 300+ mark. Suryavanshi backed it up with 45 off 28 against Pakistan Shaheens — another six-hitting effort that said “hello future.”
India A mentor: Coaches are raving: “Has a fearless mentality, approaches pressure like a practice session,” But the road to Doha’s floodlights from Bihar’s dusty fields was long, reminiscent of Yuvraj Singh’s early swashbuckling days. But at 14? It’s borderline unfair.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi – the name might not be on every lip yet, but watch this space.
Gasp From Oman Duo: Hat Tip And Eyes Wide
Oman’s Samay Shrivastava and Aryan Bisht (both with strong Indian origins) were awe-struck for sure. Aryan, who originally hails from Oman and moved to Oman when he was very young, partly grew up in Dehradun and trained in Rudrapur prior to representing Oman. We have only seen him on the television, and now we are going to against him,” he told Times of India. “At 14, hitting like that? Exceptional. Shed your age of 14, how do you manage these skids? I’m dying to bowl at him.”
Bhopal boy-turned-Omani leg-spinner, who looks up to Shane Warne, Samay also echoed: “Good opportunity to meet him-I want the tricks of his mentality. You are just 14 and doing so for India? Those big sixes are extraordinary.” They both played for Oman in the 2025 Asia Cup where India beat Pakistan to win the title. The fun fact about their Indian connections — Aryan’s family from Uttarakhand, Samay’s domestic days in Madhya Pradesh with Venkatesh Iyer — just added spice to the rivalry.
