India U-19 Vs England U-19, 3rd Youth ODI: Suryavanshi Special, All-Round Kanishk Take IND To Four-Wicket Win

A blazing 31-ball 86 from 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, complemented by an all-round display by bowling all-rounder Kanishk Chouhan took the India under-19 men's cricket team to a four-wicket win over England in the rain-truncated third Youth ODI at Northampton on Wednesday (July 2, 2025). The visitors chased down England's 268/6 in 34.3 overs, and the victory meant India took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Suryavanshi, who had come close to striking half-centuries in the previous two games before getting dismissed in his 40s, finally made his innings count as he clobbered the home team bowling, smashing a record nine sixes. It was the highest number of maximums hit by an Indian batter in an U-19 ODI, eclipsing the previous record of eight sixes by Mandeep Singh.

India suffered a slump in the middle overs with the team reduced to 199 for 6 in the 24th over before Chouhan (3/30), who had taken three England wickets earlier, hit an unbeaten 43 (42 balls) and shared an unbroken 75-run stand with RS Ambrish (31 not out) to guide the team to victory.

Brief scores: England Under-19: 268/6 in 40 overs (Isaac Mohammed 41, BJ Dawkins 62, Ben Mayes 31, Thomas Rew 76 not out, Ralphie Albert 21; Kanishk Chouhan 3/30) lost to India Under-19: 274 for 6 in 34.3 overs (Vaibhav Suryavanshi 86, Vihaan Malhotra 46, Rahul Kumar 27, Kanishk Chouhan 43 not out, RS Ambrish 31 not out; Alexander Wade 2/58).
