Vaibhav Suryavanshicontinues to make new headlines with each passing day. A batter that can not only cause beautiful looking bowling economies to sport a worried look, the attacking leftie can also shoot up blood pressure rates given he hardly wastes a second before dislodging a bad ball. Isn't it? This was seen most recently during India's Under-19 contest against their Aussie opponents where in another boundary-laden innings, Vaibhav Suryavanshi hammered the white ball. In so doing, he does produce the excitement of imagining India's future.
This, by the way, is already a team that has batters of the class of Tilak Varma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and the likes. And now, with Vaibhav Suryavanshi with his histrionics with the bat knocking on the selectors'
doors, it is quite possible that India's famed batting contingent, already powered by greats in ODI cricket such as the iconic Kohli and Sharma duo, will find a latest power booster. But that said, just who holds the record for hitting the most sixes in youth ODIs?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi- 41 sixes
The brave left hander has hit remarkable sixes already in his nascent and still-very-much developing career. As on date, Suryavanshi, a possible or would-be mainstay in Indian cricket (albeit in the works) has already hit 40 sixes and is known for his attacking batting style. For the record, the free-spirited batter is known to idolize Brian Charles Lara of the West Indies and has already made an impression in not just the famed IPL stage, but also in his developing India Under-19 career.
Unmukt Chand- 38 sixes from 21 games
What a talent Chand has been and what a talent he continues to be where it comes to the franchise cricket competitions in the United States; cricket's newfound loveland. A former KKR player and captain of India's Under-19 team (2012 World Cup), Unmukt Chand holds the record for hitting 38 sixes from just 21 youth ODIs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal- 30 sixes from 27 youth ODIs
From the onset of 2018 until 2020, Jaiswal hit 30 sixes in his youth ODI contests and the already established Indian batter from Bhadoi, Uttar Pradesh has become a household name in both red-ball and white-ball cricket. The fearless and living-on-the-frontfoot batter is audacious against both spin and pace. And whether it is dancing down the wicket or waiting for the ball on the backfoot, Jaiswal's square cuts are a delight to watch as well. He has already scored centuries in the Caribbean, Australia and England, as seen in red-ball cricket. And where it comes to T20Is, one of the fastest form of white-ball cricket as also its most popular form in Cricket's current conception, Jaiswal has scored 723 runs from 23 games. His highest score is an exact 100 in T20Is.
