In the Kanpur Test, India's senior players were seen attacking Bangladesh, while in the 4-day match of the Under-19 team being played in Chennai, India's 13-year-old batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi wreaked havoc on Australia. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hails from Bihar, has proved his ability by scoring a century in his first innings of the Under-19 Test. Vaibhav completed his century against Australia A in 58 balls and with this, he sacrificed many records.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi opened the Indian innings in the 4-day match against Australia A and scored 104 runs in 64 balls. His explosive innings included 14 fours and 4 sixes. Vaibhav Suryavanshi returned to the pavilion after being run out. During his 64-ball innings, he completed his century in 58 balls.
