Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, breaks the record for the fastest List A fifty by reaching his half-century in 11 balls during the Tri-Nation Series final between India A and Sri Lanka A. Multiple outlets report that he eclipses the previous fastest mark of a 12-ball fifty held by Sri Lanka’s Kaushalya Weeraratne. Batting as an opener, Sooryavanshi scores 94 off 29 balls, with sources describing his innings as highly aggressive, including multiple boundaries and sixes (figures cited include five fours and five maximums, and also 10 boundaries and eight maximums). He is dismissed in the ninth over when Sri Lankan captain Sahan Arachchige removes him. India A goes on to win the match and claim the tri-series title. The performances come amid broader attention on Sooryavanshi’s rising profile: BBC Sport notes that the record is achieved on the same day he is not included in India’s one-day international squad, while other reports reference his earlier and ongoing recognition in India’s youth and emerging teams. Separately, Times of India notes that the 11-ball fifty is his fastest List A half-century, but it is not his fastest overall innings in List A, citing a prior higher-scoring rapid knock.
