Sooryavanshi scripts history in first T20I against Zimbabwe

India’s teenage sensation, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, etched his name in the T20I record books as he became the youngest ever batter to score a half-century in men’s T20Is. 

The youngster registered his maiden T20I fifty off just 18 balls in the first T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare. The knock included four boundaries and as many sixes as India chased down the target of 126 with a little over six overs to spare.

At 15 years and 118 days, Sooryavanshi registered the record, which was earlier held by Louis Bruce from Gibraltar, who had scored a fifty against Malta in 2021, at 16 years, 56 days.
