The Indian teen sensation who captured global attention earlier this year with a dazzling Indian Premier League century is bound for Australian shores.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, will highlight the Indian under-19 side that will complete five tour matches against Australia’s under-19s in coming months.
The stylish left-hander struck a historic and age-defying century for the Rajasthan Royals in the coveted IPL in April.
Suryavanshi faced a Gujarat Titans attack laden with Test experience and hit 94 of his 101 runs in boundaries.
The innings prompted praise from cricketers across the world, including batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
Prior to that knock, Suryavanshi crunched a 58-ball ton against Australia’s under-19 team as a 13-year-old and a quickfire 143 against England.
India’s underage side will play three one-day and two four-day matches against Australia starting on September 21.
The first three matches will be held in Brisbane before the final match in Mackay.
Australia will announce its under-19 side shortly.
