The 14-year-old Suryavanshi became the first cricketer to score a century for India A in a T20 match.

Vaibhav looked unstoppable after India opted to bat first in their opening match of the tournament and smashed his hundred in just 32 balls, plundering 10 fours and nine sixes on the way. He recorded the joint-second-fastest T20 hundred.

The record for the fastest T20 hundred by an Indian is jointly held by Urvil Patel and Abhishek Sharma, who breached three figures in 28 balls. The century by Vaibhav on Friday is the joint-fourth fastest by any cricketer in T20s.
