Indian cricket has got another young star. At the age of just 15, Vaibhav Suryavanshi performed in the T20 International series against Zimbabwe, which caught the attention of cricket lovers around the world.

Vaibhav’s contribution was most important in India’s 3-0 clean sweep victory. On this tour, he made many such records in his name, which will be remembered for a long time in cricket history.
1. Youngest player to score a half-century in international cricket
Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history in the very first match of the series. He made the record of becoming the youngest player in the world by scoring his first international half-century at the age of just 15 years and 118 days. Earlier this achievement was recorded in the name of Kushal Malla of Nepal.

In the third T20 match, Vaibhav played an explosive inning of 81 runs in 49 balls. With this, he became the first batsman in the world to score two half-centuries in men’s international cricket before turning 16 years of age. Achieving this achievement at such a young age is very special in itself.
3. Sachin Tendulkar’s 37 year old Indian record broken
Vaibhav’s first T20I fifty made him the most special in the history of Indian cricket. He made the record of scoring the youngest international half-century for India. Earlier this record was in the name of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, which remained for about 37 years.
4. Unique record for a full-member country
