Star India batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi, earlier this week, created history and became the first cricketer in the world to achieve a huge feat, as he became the youngest player to take a wicket and score a half-century in the same Youth Test, as the 14-year-old keeps smashing records.

In the opening Test of the series, Suryavanshi struggled with the bat in the first innings, managing just 14 runs before being dismissed. He bounced back in the second innings, scoring a quickfire 56 off just 44 deliveries.

In the first innings, Suryavanshi impressed with the ball, bagging two wickets with his left-arm spin.

With this performance, Suryavanshi became the first player in history to score a half-century and take a wicket in the same Youth Test before the age of 15.

The previous youngest to achieve this feat was Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who accomplished it at 15 years and 167 days against Sri Lanka in Mirpur in 2013. He was the youngest to achieve it twice as well.

Former India cricketer Suresh Raina is also a part of the list, a feat he bagged at 15 years and 242 days against England in Colombo in 2002.

Meanwhile, Suryavanshi has now become the youngest recorded player to score several half-centuries in international U19 cricket in the longest format.

In the Test, having opted to bat first, India were bowled out for a whopping 540, riding on a century from skipper Ayush Mhatre and half-centuries from Vihaan Malhotra, wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu, Rahul Kumar and RS Ambrish. Alex Green and Ralphie Albert took three wickets apiece.

In reply, England were bowled out for 439, with Rocky Flintoff the highest scorer with 93. Henil Patel picked up three wickets for India.

In the second innings, India were bowled out for 248, with Malhotra the top-scorer for 63. Archie Vaughan picked six wickets for England.
