India’s Under-19 team not only had a great game but also celebrated victory in their U19 World Cup 2026 match against Bangladesh U19 due to the exceptional batting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 14-year-old prodigy reached a magnificent half-century in merely 30 balls, which is considered one of the fastest fifties in the tournament and has garnered considerable online attention as the first major accomplishment of the competition. His attacking performance not only made a strong platform for India against Bangladesh, but also Suryavanshi was extravagantly punishing the bowlers with well-timed hits and mighty shots, which gave Indian the much-needed thrust at the start of their innings.
